1. Last I knew, VM was heavily used by the IBM z/OS developers. 2. My impression is that VM is a strategic part of IBM's Linux commitment.

About VM: I don't understand why IBM seems to have sidestepped z/VM. VM have always given me the same feeling of a smart design as e g REXX do. As it seems to fit well in the KISS principle that I try to follow. (I have mostly worked in a MVS environment (or the older variants), but I have always admired VM as an OS as such.) But AFAICS IBM is "demounting" VM. There seems to be diminishing incentives to use VM (maybe apart from running multiple Linux systems). Is the reason support costs ? I don't know, but would like to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
