IBM. Yes, when you upgraded the hardware, you had to buy all new software. Yet, Information execs repeatedly made the personally safe choice, "buy IBM". It took years before decisionmakers would pick hardware other than IBM even though the other makers would allow you to keep your software on a upgrade.

Let us hope that phone operators will show beter sense.
