What we really just saw is another young person being turned away from z/VM, at 
a time when the next generation needs to be engaged and involved through 
whatever means possible. But now he will probably direct his energies 
elsewhere. IBM could be more proactive in culling new people, especially those 
who have an interest in working on VM, by making such environments legally 
available with certain capacity and usage restrictions. Not to play the devils 
advocate, but many of the best programmers these days started out honing their 
skills on inexpensive or "free" resources, and it's a good idea to have them on 
your side.
