They are afraid to market IDS properly for fear of being accused of 
detracting from - and probably actually detracting from - DB2.
My wish would be for IBM to market IDS as its flag****p in the 
Linux-Unix-Windows arena.  But again, having spent so much time trying to 
convince everyone that DB2 is not just a mainframe and as/400 product,
this 
is probably a step too far now.
