[geeks] Windows on a mainframe? Why???

[Lionel Peterson]

   Here's a link to an article on a company that plans to put Windows on
   a IBM series Z mainframe and allow users to RDP to it, just like a
   terminal server or remote desktop session:

   Really?
   Oh, and as an aside, the article points out that since this really
   creates an x86 runtime environment, you can run Linux on it as well (I
   guess they don't know that you could already do that:
