One of the smartest guys around (up there with Al "E=mc^2" Einstein)
has argued on this list many a time that the interactive tax was
fundamental to the viability of the AS/400 and that without it,
the AS/400 would not be profitable. A reanalysis of that statement 
might be in order, or can we simply assume that the money still
flows to IBM, but now bundled (as Joe asks)?
