Just think of all those ex-IBMers and the purchasing decisions they make each work day.
At a minimum IBM should be banned from US federal and state contracts for 10 years.
But when the Queen's law fails, good citizens take justice into our own hands.
Just think of all those ex-IBMers and the purchasing decisions they make each work day. And each one legitimately knows many reasons why their employers should be extremely wary of IBM products and services, why those products and services will have lapses in support, be retired early for the convenience and profit of IBM, how bills are jacked up, contracts written in a one-sided manner, etc., etc.
IT is still a new and painfully naive industry. There are reasons why established industries have learned not to turf high performance experienced staff.
