Don't forget to build in the cost of a security package and anything

ok, but then there are the shortfalls. max 10 char object names,
ebcdic char set. AIX and Linux have x-windows which I guess is better
than 5250. There are likely more software vendors and applications
available for AIX or Linux than i5/OS.

Put it this way: If i5/OS is priced the same as AIX and there are no
hardware restrictions, will AIX users switch to i5/OS?
