From: Peter Dow (ML)

You're still trying to compare OS/400 to Windows.  What Walden and I are
talking about is OS400 V5R1 vs V5R2 vs V5R3 vs V5R3 -- I have a general
feeling that things have gotten progressively more stable, but I have no
numbers to back that up.  Hardware-wise, I'm even more clueless.  I have
two old 170s, both of which just died recently -- one the MFIOP went
bad; the other I'm still not sure yet; however, they lasted for years
with no problems whatsoever.  How do I compare that to whatever the
latest equivalent box is?

Gotcha.

I couldn't really tell you.  From a software side, you might try comparing
PTF releases year to year.  Hardware, the only thing I can think of is
anecdotal.  I don't think there are any published numbers.  Heck, I'd like
to just have the number of beige boxes still out there.
