I'm as bigoted as anyone regarding the AS/400 but golly, lets not be blind
to facts.  Thats no service to anyone, least of all to us bigots.

Microsoft people are bright people.  They would want to eat their own
cooking.  Belittling them or impugning their skills serves no useful purpose
  Even if there are AS/400s still in service at Microsoft, it is not a
competitive issue.  I'd better dollars to DingDongs that their labs have
dissected and digested every aspect of the AS/400 and OS/400.

Dr Soltis often spoke of the AS/400s at Microsoft and he got brought up
short on it. Ever wonder why?

Sunlight sterilizes.  Lets deal from truth, not wishes.  Please.

even speaking about the "AS/400 being extinct at Microsoft".
