I went back to the CNNMoney article; it states: "IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that it will consolidate about 3,900 computer servers onto about 30 System z mainframes running the Linux operating system." Now, maybe the CNN article got the details wrong. But IBM's own press release[1] _also_ states "Linux", not z/OS. (I can imagine those mainframes running Linux on top of z/VM, but z/VM != z/OS, right?) So please, explain again to me how 30 Enterprise Class mainframes running _Linux_ (I repeat, _Linux_) will lead to more z/OS sysprog jobs???
