?so if I buy an IBM based server I pay twice?
No, only once. IBM's licence fee for software for Power 5 dual-core processors is calculated as if you had two processors in the box. That may cost more, even double, but you don?t ?pay twice?.
?a better deal on the competition's hardware compared to your own ?
I have no doubt IBM will release their own dual-core AMD or Intel based boxes, so they will be competing with their own hardware against their own hardware too.
?NOT a great marketing plan folks.?
Heck, IBM is such a piss-ant failure of an IT company, I?m sure they need your help with marketing. - Posted by: Fred Fredrickson Posted on: 04/21/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
