Re: "As I understand it, IBM reported a steep decline in hardware revenues after the close."

Not so for RS 6000 line, especially high end S80 series. From the press release:

"Revenues also grew in IBM's Web server product line, which includes the RS/6000 and NUMA-Q products, with particularly strong demand for the advanced RS/6000 S80 model."

The IBM RS 6000 line is now very competitive and should allow IBM to grow revenues once again. I even heard of two win backs from Sun. The market is so big that IBM, with a competitive product, will get its share regardless of Sun. But, as long as we see UltraSparc III systems by year end, I don't think Sun has anything to worry about.
