> IBM withdraw their offer, because they didn't had any commercial reason to go forward with the deal, and they aren't a charity to start with. I kinda wonder what IBM really is these days anyway. They're a bit of a server manufacturer for some niche stuff. A bit of a CPU manufacturer for some niche uses. A bit of a consultancy operator. A bit of a software supplier. A bit of an operational outsourcer. They're dabbling in everything yet don't shine at anything. No clear focus. If they didn't have their name and legacy I bet they would have been lost in the waves long ago.
