Holy *&^%. That might help partially explain why the system is not
considered modern.......V5R1 was announced in 2001, V5R2 was announced
in 2002, V5R3 announced in 2004. Makes almost any other Wintel or Unix
system look like it is comparatively ultra modern to i5/OS when in fact
it isn't.

Is this any different than many win servers still running Win2000 ?

I'm working on a customer's upgrade from v4r5 (a 720) to new box & v5r4. The ONLY reason it took them so long to upgrade was a (non-IT) management mentality that replaces equipment only when forced to (the lack of horsepower and disk finally got enough mid managers to scream, even though end users had been complaining for years).
