But at least for the "short" term, IBM provides the platform where every problem is investigated and fixed. And the goal from a non-IBM perspective is not for IBM to have long term profit anyway. It's just to make sure the professional platform remains. And so long as they can continue to charge whatever is required to cover their costs - and everyone has no real choice but to suck it up - it may all work out. For the forseeable future. BFN.
