IBM recently announced their latest quarterly results with what looked like impressive growth for their P-Series systems (29%). What they made sure they weren’t too overt about was that this growth was for "converged System P". See, a few month ago, IBM decided to combine their I-Series (AS/400) with their P-Series systems. So now, this seemingly high growth is actually due to the fact that they add the count for all those systems that used to be i-Series and add them to P-Series to make it look like they have really high growth. Cute marketing stunt. Just wanted to make sure the facts were a tad more visible to you than IBM wanted you to see.
