The System iWant, 2007 Edition
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The great thing about IBM's woes with the AS/400, iSeries, and System i5 products and its line of business within the Server Group, Systems Group, and now the Systems and Technology Group for the past dozen years is that there is always an opportunity to tell Big Blue how it might improve the OS/400 and i5/OS platform. It is always fun to try to figure out how IBM might do a better job of competing first against mainframes, then Unix, then Windows, and now Linux servers. READ MORE >
