This ad campaign was announced a few weeks ago.  All based on
either studies that MS ran themselves or based upon studies
sponsored by Microsoft.

I've heard of Z series being used for mail, CRM, databases and so

definitely is NOT anywhere near equivalent to a glorified PC
server.

What a huge, hot, steaming load of monkey dung.
