This is interesting reading. Not totally unexpected speculation, and there
have been folks on this board that have directly stated their wishes for IBM
to spinoff iSeries to someone that actually cared. :-)

For me, IBM Midrange has meant CPF (i5/OS) for many years. I don't think that the actual hardware is all that much different from other server-class hardware anymore anyway. If they can make i5/OS run on commodity-grade server hardware I'd be just as happy.

I think the V6 announcements are showing us an IBM in transition from an 'all in one' provider to a 'mix and match' provider.
