If you look at the total computing power that M$ claims to use to run the entire company, and believe that's all that's necessary to run a company of that size, you would probably agree with Bill Gates that no one will ever need more than 640 K to run a desktop. Although IBM is very mum, it is known that M$ uses a service bureau for some processing, and that service bureau uses 400's. Furthermore, some of the ex-M$ personnel who are familiar with the M$ application (MAC PAC if I'm not mistaken) now work for that service bureau. I would trust M$ as far as I can throw all of Bill Gates' money.
