When somebody says the mainframe is dying, I like to say 95% of the Fortune 500 run on a IBM mainframe. And their applications absolutely, positively, cannot run on open systems, because they require a much higher transaction rate than what open systems can run. Some of the smaller mainframe shops have migrated off, but a lot of them were extremely painful.
