It worked out well for the PC platform. Not so much for IBM, though.

- perl4ever 7y agoThat made me go look for a long term stock chart. It's really kind of interesting: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/IBM/ibm/stock-price-history https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/IBM/ibm/stock-pric... ...it would seem IBM is still in a (very volatile) huge uptrend that started in the early 90s. Now that I think of it, you could say that if the PC platform worked out well for Linux then Linux ended up working out well for IBM.
