Vendors occasionally change the name of their operating system and hardware, but effectively there is no technical change.

The term IBM i generically refers to all OS/400 and i5/OS operating system releases as of Version 5, regardless of hardware name changes that have occurred, such as iSeries, Series i and the more recent change to IBM i.

The term Solaris also generically refers to SunOS regardless of hardware or release level.

For a 7.7.04 Windows server installation, the Start Security options have changed. The Start With Alternate Security Modes folder has been removed. The Start Security OPSYS option has been changed to Start Security ON. A new Start Security OFF option has been added. More information on new security options and the security changes in 7.7.04 is available in the Security topic of the Server Enhancements chapter in the 7.7.04 New Features manual.

As of the Version 7 Release 7.02, separately installable debuggable versions are no longer required to get a full stack trace of information for a savediag. The Debuggable Version - Install and Debuggable Version - Remove options have been removed from the Windows menu.

If you have an earlier Version 7.7.x release that contains the debug menu options, and have installed service pack upgrades of 7702 (or higher), these menu options should be deleted, since they no longer function or are needed.

The size of a Windows installation has also changed, since the debuggable information is now carried as .pdb files which are not optional. While this change does increase disk space requirements, it is beneficial since abnormal terminations now produce a full stack trace without extra steps, speeding problem resolution.
