I think this subgroup (which I think of as the "sysprog group")  is the
most likely to be addressed by IBM sooner than the others.  (The
developer is already addressed but at a $13K buy-in together with AD-CD
loan -- whether or not this proves too much for the small independed ISV
is still an open question, but plenty of "start-ups" have gone for
it)    The problem with designing a solution package for the sysprog
group is that commonly their needs require that the company's software
stack be duplicated on the sandbox, which is much different than loaning
out an AD-CD package.
