Where Apple follows, IBM will lead.

Gosh, the inventors of the personal computer are once again leading the ‘Peanut’ gallery.

Hmmmm. This thread isn't getting the attention it deserves. Methinks this is actually a very big deal, particularly on a day when Microsoft announces that big layoffs are just around the corner.

What this reflects, I believe, is the ever increasing use of tablet computers by corporate America. IBM (who could have been Microsoft) and Apple (who perhaps should have been Microsoft) seem like natural partners to me.

IBM has to solve a lot of these problems because many of their employees use iPhones at work. I’m one of them. Might as well get paid to help other companies do the same.

"That software giant is at the first stage of what CEO Satya Nadella recently said will be a transformation away from selling software."

What. A. Joke. Microsoft leaving its install base (which came about by blue-ocean opportunity) and trying its hand at hardware??

It's bad enough I have to try and keep from puking every 15 minutes a Microsoft dancing-college-brats-in-office clickity-click tablets/keyboards commercial comes on.
