The announcement in February is scarcely news. I predicted 'late 2007 or early
2008' back in
June 2005 ( http://www.isham-research.co.uk/mainframe_2008.html ) and the dates
have only
firmed up since then.
Shipment in 1Q is a mild surprise - I was expecting April.
Whilst I happily accept the overall performance claims, I'll be interested to
see variations
between workloads. The LSPR guys have likely been having a fun time.
And it's the small ones that will really be interesting. Let's see what the
physical
granularity is like.

I'd also be interested in the pricing as well. Just as a matter of
curiosity.
