I'm going to make an observation here, Lukas, and you can take it or 
leave it.

If there is anything in the System i that you don't perceive to be as 
good as Microsoft, be it function or price or marketing or whatever, you 
complain long and loud about how awful IBM is and basically make it seem 
like only an idiot would use their products.  Yet when Microsoft has an 
obviously and inarguably inferior product that is clearly lagging behind 
competitive products, you say they are "coming en par".

Do you see how that might make those of use reading your posts think 
that perhaps you let your bisaes cloud your judgment, and to thus 
perhaps dismiss your comments just a little bit?

Please, no offense intended, I'm just pointing out something I've 
observed.  I'm certainly not immune to bias myself.  In fact, I'm 
clearly biased in my love of the System i. But then again, these are 
midrange mailing lists <smile>.
