What a tease the both of them are. Get it over with guys.. I wonder if Mikey said to the IBMers, lets us do what we do best and let us do your PC biz, and you do what you do best sell service and advance technology. If I was him I would of said it right away as I shook hands..

Let me take a stab at this. I think IBM is gonna exit the PC manufacturing business. Main reason being low margins and concentrate on other parts of their business where margins are higher and tere is the above mentioned backlog.

My guess is that Dell will buy this business from IBM and in turn sell sell computer to IBM.
