re: "they don't need to be in a money losing business that has limited potential to add to their growth"
If IBM closed or spun off every division losing money, I think they'd eventually be running out of divisions. IBM's advantage is that they can stay in a market till weak hands have to fold one by one (while giving them time to reorganize and become competitive again). At least that's JMHO.
