????來自CNET的消息，IBM上周三宣布，在未來的五年，IBM將花費(fèi)一億美元，用來使它的主機(jī)更容易使用。

????“IBM will spend $100m over the next five years to make its mainframe line easier to administer and programme, the company said on Wednesday,” writes Stephen Shankland in CNET News.
??? IBM生產(chǎn)了十多年的主機(jī)System z運(yùn)行的z/OS操作系統(tǒng)，跟目前運(yùn)行Unix，Windows和Linux的主流機(jī)型逐漸形成差距。IBM希望通過更現(xiàn)代的用戶界面，可視化軟件工具等來改變這一狀況。

????“IBM’s decades-old mainframe lineage, called System z and running the z/OS operating system, has grown increasingly distant from mainstream computing with the rise of computers running Unix, Windows and Linux. Big Blue is trying to change that with a modern user interface, visual programming tools and other developments, the company said.”
