If anyone on IBM-MAIN either works for or knows of DB2 shops in Asia, particularly in Japan, that would be willing to experience early access to DB2 V9.1 for z/OS then please contact me by e-mail urgently. We may be doing something different this cycle, so, if you've been previously reluctant to put an early version of DB2 in one of your test LPARs, this time you may be much more interested. There are many benefits to this special program for you and for your company.
The IBM announcement letter has more details on some of the new capabilities in DB2 V9.1: http://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/8/897/ENUS206-098/ENUS206-098.PDF There are lots of new capabilities, and I'm sure many people are focusing on the price/performance enhancements.
