New Unisys mainframe gets .Net, Java

[John]

"Unisys, one of the few companies remaining in the mainframe market, will
begin selling a new high-end system Monday that includes features to run
advanced software.
The new ClearPath Plus Libra 185 comes with faster processors and more
capacity for transferring data into and out of the system. As significant a
change is the support for programs written using Microsoft's .Net
infrastructure and Sun Microsystems' Java."

actually, this is a BIG news for java, since Unisys is a big booster of
..NET and windows on high end servers - i gues they knew they had to have
java in order to compete against IBM's websphere - LOL.
