I heard a representative of IBM state that what made a system i, system
p, and soon a system z was the operating system installed, the hardware
was essentially the same.

So, this story is not really surprising to me.

what will pleasantly surprise me is if i5/OS will be enabled to run on
systems like the p520 deskside, with a single core 4.2 GHz Power6
processor, for the same price as AIX + DB2.
