Re: Which Desktop best for i5/OS Connectivity

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

And since it's a closed system (access to i5/OS), IBM has total
control over the interfaces (and therefore products) that will be
used. So, if Rational doesn't build the interfaces/programs to access
i5/OS from Linux or Windows...well, I guess that will tell us
something about direction, won't it?
