"Does anyone still regard IBM as an 800-pound gorilla? Consider this:
Through significant product and service launches on the industry's main
playing field, coupled with masterful maneuvering of standards and open
source off the field, IBM is plotting a return to dominance. And no
competitor is safe. Sun could become Armonk's first victim--or acquisition.
Meanwhile, the conquest of Sun could bring Big Blue one step closer to an
even bigger target: Microsoft. The industry landscape could be very
different in five years. Perhaps now is the time to consider what your
infrastructure is built upon--and who's on your short list of technology
providers."

Some very interesting reading especially in light of the "Cheaper Servers?"
thread.
