New PC line arrives , IBM also to market UNIX type products
Believe this was 1st set for 2/7/00 , but then again MSFT was supposed to settle around that date ;>)
Should cause the rest of Wall Street's Big Boys to come home to IBM stock and forget that Y2K stuff:
" IBM will today announce NetVista PCs,
a new PC lineup featuring matte-black
designs and LCD displays, 256-bit
encryption and wireless network
capabilities. The PCs are part of IBM's
EoN, or "edge of network" initiative.
Under the EoN plan, IBM will market
itself more aggressively as a provider of
the full panoply of technology products
and services. Customers, ideally, won't
buy generic desktops in the future.
Instead, they will buy clients optimized
for a larger network function or
application that was also designed by
IBM, the company hopes.
Four models will kick off the new line, called NetVista: an all-in-one
model, built around a LCD display; a so-called "legacy free" design,
without serial and parallel connectors; a network Internet appliance,
such as the one recently adopted by Fidelity Investments; and a
network computer attached to a LCD display. "

Don't forget about dem apples . IBM and AAPL should benefit most from a MSFT settlement.
Oh UNIX , IBM has established a new marketing sales force to sell UNIX OS based products. Sure can't be IBM's AIX.
Has to be a new UNIX OS . LINUX isn't new so whose OS could it be ?
