#26: IBM hasn't figured out how to run software without hardware yet. Or vice versa.
Despite Wall Street accounting, from a technical point of view there's increasing blurring between software and hardware, for a variety of very sensible reasons. (Is an Apple iPhone software or hardware? Yes. Is the IBM Smart Analytics System 9600 software or hardware? Yes.) I see every indication that trend will continue. Speaking only for myself, per usual. - - - - - Timothy Sipples Resident Architect (Based in Singapore) STG Value Creation and Complex Deals Team IBM Growth Markets E-Mail: [email protected] Phone: +1 603 472 4234 or +65 9232 2015 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
