US mega corps have forgotten about their customers
IBM is a wanning star. they have rediculous licencing requirements and software that is just awful to even install let alone use, their support is woeful and their engineers are at a bear minimum in competance. They have sold off all teh bits of teh business that they could and now are left with services that are run on a shoestring budget to maximise returns to investors. They rely on long term support contracts for over expensive products that have no new sales.It treats its staff and customers with a disdain bordering on the arogant expectation that they should be greatful they have a device with IBM on it.
Any business thinking of buying IBM should just walk away to anywhere else (except Oracle).
IBM will likely crash and die in the next 5-10 years and the IP will bought by Oracle or Huwawi. Oracle will keep going but is spiralling down the same rabbit hole of oblivion.
