I believe there's a good number of sub-100 MSU customers out there. And software costs per unit of capacity are highest for those customers. Dealing with that situation would be a good step to addressing those customer's concerns and keeping them in the fold. (Important since the small customers are probably most likely to be able to complete a migration to a new platform.) Hopefully IBM releases 1xx, 2xx, and 3xx capacity settings in the not too-distant future. Perhaps they didn't announce them immediately because they expect to need their manufacturing capacity to satisfy the demand for larger capacity (and larger profit) machines.
