I suspect that IBM gave away most of the details that we discussed on the z10. If they give info to people who haven't signed an NDA, how could anyone be guilty of receiving stolen property. If IBM wanted to prosecute, they should prosecute their own people who gave the info away. I suspect that IBM allows quite a bit of info out, just to get people talking, and the businesses that need the bigger machine to get sales.. If no one knew about a new announcement before the announcement day, how would they be able to sell the machines so they could be shipped the first day.
