IBM is discontinuing the System p and System i server brands and changing the name of the i5/OS operating system to "i" or "i for business." An IT Jungle article notes that "servers developed and manufactured by its newly christened Power Systems division with the name--drum roll please--"Power." As in Power 520, Power 550, Power 570, and Power 595, whether the machine is running AIX, Linux, or the operating system formerly known as i5/OS."

Lets see, in less than a decade we have had:
OS/400 -> i/OS -> i5/OS -> i [for business] [V][6][R1]?
This is pointless. Why give a stable platform such an unstable name? Regardless, for me and almost everyone I work with, it's still OS/400.
On the other hand, the consolidation of hardware SKUs is a very good thing, I think.
