That "it's not a real mainframe" thing put me off at first but then I realized 
that a zPDT is not a real mainframe either, right? It too is Z emulation under 
Linux.

Of course, the other question is why is mainframe hybrid cloud a great solution 
for IBM's customers but not for IBM? Isn't "Linux in the cloud is cheaper and 
easier than Z in the cloud" exactly what the mainframe marketing people are 
trying to fight?
