A chain is as strong as its weakest link. Running Windows on z would not
make it better, IMO. We rarely have Intel hardware outages on our
Enterprise level servers. But Windows will still BSOD on them on
occassion.

Subject: Re: Question about z/VM...
You can migrate the functions of a Windows server to zLinux, by
converting to appropriate Linux-based tools. I don't think anything on
that page directly implies that Windows will run in z/VM 5.3. There is
the potential for loose inference, though. To any IBMers present: Is
there something we don't know brewing in the Labs? Would running the
world's worst operating system on the world's best hardware and
virtualization platform result in a potentially average system?
