Multiple OS article

[daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

For those of you who like comparing the iSeries to the Wintel environment
there's an editorial in the latest Infoworld by Tom Yager.  He yearns for
the ability to split the system and run multiple OS's.  Hmm, sounds like
LPAR.  He does acknowledge that IBM midrange can do this although he fails
to mention any names like AS/400, iSeries, or i5.

While it's not uncommon for PC's today to multi-boot into different OS one
at a time the day is probably coming (if it's not here already) when you
can run OS's simultaneously.  Then all they will need are job queues,
output queues, message queues, an integrated database...
