Quite well, according to IBM's Buell Duncan, general manager, Mid-market Servers. But what about the iSeries solution providers? What do they think? ISeries Magazine asked a handful of solution providers, both large and small, about their expectations for the coming year. IBM, BEA ASK PARTNERS TO CHOOSE SIDES | News: iSeries Network When it comes to independent software vendors (ISVs) who use the hardware that application servers support, market leaders IBM and BEA are enticing vendors to take sides. While IBM seems to be sticking with its own longtime software partners, BEA's efforts run the gamut of ISVs, including many whose customers pledge loyalty to IBM platforms, most notably the iSeries 400.

It's a burden most of us have to bear -- buying, filling out, stamping and mailing those holiday greeting cards. But will this year be different? Will ongoing news reports of anthrax detection in mailboxes -- and the growing popularity of e- cards (those cute, free greeting cards available at several Web sites) -- help stamp out the holiday mailing tradition? The U.S. Postal Service says, "no way." And at least one independent study backs up the post office's claims.
