Hi All,

I heard that IBM is withdrawing support to TX ?

OR

Is it just renaming the product ?

Is it true ?

Sounds pretty shocking to me. I don't know for sure, but WebSphere TX is a significant part of WebSphere Message Broker.... I'd be awfully surprised, and besides, end-of-life needs a lot of time, and TX is still actively selling........ sounds like an error in naming.

I, on the other hand, "have heard" that someone in Nigeria wants to deposit $40M into my bank account.

Please don't just go with "I have heard" - cite sources so you and we can check.
