Re: Changed to: Interactive Tax

Guys, let me pop the stack a bit.

The Intel P-4 chipset is designed to run a 30-gigahertz cpu clock speed.

Keep in mind that MOST Intel based software suppliers are not STUPID
ENOUGH to teir their pricing schedule to the hardware it's running on.  I
think IBM is in for one helluva continued wake up call when the faster
(even 9 ghz!) chipsets come out...heck that in a cluster CPU environment
will cover alot of sins usually attributed to windows/unix ineffeciencies.

Now, let your mind wonder as to how long a client will want to even
consider the current tiered pricing ripoff schema vs a per seat schema
for pricing....:)

Then consider how long they will laugh at you when you consider a tiered
to the hardware pricing schema of a slower, costlier box....:)

IBM has alot of work ahead of them.  I think they can pull it out...but
they're gonna be busy....
