RE: LPARS (was NT vs. AS/400)

Didn't OS/2 do that about 10 years ago?  I remember booting OS/2,  Win31,
etc.
With Boot manager?

Previous releases would be great for ISV's (which we are).  Instead of
having one machine at V5R1 beta, one at V4R5, V4R1, V3R7 etc, etc.  We
could have one machine with all of them.  And even better would be
FUTURE releases.  That way you could test the new release before
putting it on your production partition!

Actualy, this is something that WindowsNT/2K does TODAY!  Yep.  Check
out www.vmware.com .  On my production Windows 2000 box, I have virtual
machines for all the Windows flavors (Including XP Beta 2).  You
actually boot these VM's with a bios and everything.  Very Slick.
