IBM's move to sell the Tpad line to Lenovo was a colossal blunder, and the beginning of its hardware downfall. Why? Because laptops are where the growth is at! Noone (ok, fewer and fewer) wants a bulky, non-portable desktop anymore. Especially with the advent of WiFi. IBM is missing that boom, and consumers are suffering from lower quality Chinese crap!
Now...with virtualization going crazy...IBM is gonna start shedding its server lines? They should instead be keeping it and looking to sell package deals - highly tuned and configured IBM servers all set to go for virtualization. They could own the "end-to-end" in enterprise settings if they put out a solid VM'd server offering.
Recent speculation of IBM & AMD hooking up makes no sense in this scenario of IBM shedding hardware production...yet another opportunity lost.
Looks like IBM is on the path to becoming just another software and services company. Sad, really. - Posted by: techboy_z Posted on: 01/28/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
