Jim, With SLES8 you have to pay separate license/maint. fees for 31-bit and 64-bit versions. So with SLES9 you do not? Also, others (at IBM) had lead me to believe SLES9 would be 64-bit only but 31-bit apps could run under it. In either case, the pricing sounds better. 64-bit only sounds fine too since there would be only 1 version to maintain instead of 2. Are you sure there will still be a 31-bit version?
