Ex, I'm not a member so you'll have to PM me your address, but I think this response might be of interest, so here goes. The basic reason I didn't expect anything in the IBM announcement is that the New ACS isn't ready yet. And when it is ready there will have to be considerable time for testing if they're interested. And there is no indication in anything I read about IBM having an in house product similar to the ACS, and I belive they woud make that very, VERY clear if they did. Since this "PureSystem" line "is intended to bring together all the necessary pieces needed to handle complex computing problems that typically require a combination of products from multiple vendors", it strikes me that the ACS would be a suitable product in that line since it eliminates some of the "multiple vendors". Whatever they name it(if they use it) is irrelevant to me, as long as they use it. Even if they don't, somebody else should be interested. It's ultimately the customer that drives this car. Whatever database they desire to go to is where we should be.

P.S. I'm not a computer engineer(far from it), just technical by nature.
