Good for you Mark. So how many new z/OS installs have been sold by
IBM in the past four years?
I know of exactly 2.
How many new Linux installs? I personally know of at least 48, maybe
49.
I have no idea how many z/OS only shops are now z/OS, z/VM, and Linux,
but I do know of quite a
few of those.
I am sure willing to be enlightened though - care to share any facts?
I have hated to miss the past two Shares, but
golly - been working full time on - you guess it - zLinux.

On the other hand, IBM sells a load of "Linux only" mainframes these

It is not beyond reason that half of the MIPS out there are "Linux"
MIPS. IFL's are generally faster and cheaper too.
Why would you think otherwise?
Because of the conversations I and others have had with IBMers that
would know. At SHARE and in other avenues of communication.
