IBM should have an spotlight on legacy modernization for converting from windows to Linux on Z and z/OS. Maybe something about converting from SQL Server to a more "enterprise class" data base. Or touting the security and encryption services like PKI Services. Something Windows does without any real regard for security.
Make it go both ways. Staying on z for the sake of staying on z isn't always a prudent decision. Neither is staying on wintel. Or something like reworking C# apps to work with CICS for response time concerns. Just a couple thoughts. There is a far larger base of people on wintel than on the mainframe. We should entice the masses. If our platform cannot stand the heat, we should exit the kitchen.
