IBM is basically a consulting company at this point. And will say anything to stir up business. Today they are pushing Macs, Tomorrow Linux, next week Windows, Two months from now whatever, just to keep enterprises upgrading and buying IBM services, which, BTW are not cheap.

Hmmmm. IBM's Market Cap as of closing today is $143.7 Billion . . . that's some consulting company, NJLiberalDestroyer. I suspect you really don't know what you are talking about. Yes, they do consulting, but they are also a technology company. Specifically, IBM manufactures and markets computer hardware, middleware and software, and offers infrastructure, hosting and consulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to nanotechnology.

Good for them. IBM sold off a majority of their hardware manufacturing business, they just sold off their x86 server business to Lenovo this year, they sold off their laptop and desktop business to Lenovo about a decade ago, sold off their storage business to Hitachi about 6 or 7 years ago. I know they still have their P-Series and I-Series server, I do not know if they even still sell the Z-Series mainframes. IBM is a consulting company, that is their business today.

Also why should I care what their opinion of Macs are? Seriously, if the Huffington post endorsed Ted Cruz, it would not affect me on supporting him more or less. I don’t need IBM or the Huffington Post to validate what I know. That is what liberals do
