IBM's GS (it's no longer called ISSC) does not push IBM products. Their official reasoning is: "we're hired as consultants - if we pushed IBM products, we'd be no better than IBM salesmen. Our customers don't need that, they just need their problems solved." >Don't worry about AIX. There's the SP2 and anyway AIX seems to be a >chameleon. I'm waiting for someone to slap the workplace shell onto >AIX. Hmmm.... WPS on X?
