Bastids. This is bad news for PWD/FLEX suckers. IBM's next red herring
for developers will be a PSI box which we will all stumble over
ourselves buying, only to have it obsoleted three years later (see R390,
P390, Integrated Server, MP3000, FLEX, etc.). They'll be sure to keep
us spending 5-6 figures for the hardware every few years, just like
they've been doing for the last 2 decades. The shell game continues....
I disagree. Real competition is second hand market. You can buy small
z/800 almost for peanuts (few k$, less than FLEX). It's definitely not
obsoleted. You can run any version of supported OSes, including future
z/OS 1.10.
There are HW features available only on newer models, but it is
irrelevant for vast majority of ISVs.
