“Sadly, I think IBM forgot its own POWER equation. It should have been IBM i + AIX + Linux + Proper Marketing = World Domination via Power. Instead, it’s been the longest marketing drought I have seen in some time. All the radio ads have dried up, all the inserts in tech publications are hard to understand, and while other vendors market to the entire IT world, IBM seems content to preach to the choir.”
