RE: Windows XP running on an IBM i?

I once installed Word into the IFS on a 720, just to try it. It actually
worked, but it was really slow.

IBM has technology to run Windows Server (almost any version) on  POWER 
or Mainframe.

Why don't they?  Two reasons in order of importance.
1) Microsoft will not support it, period.  IBM tried to get them to.  
Even offered to pay for the porting.
2) Customers have not demanded it.

Either one kills the idea.

That is an emulator someone wrote to run it on a unix platform, in this 
case AIX/PASE.
