[11:54] schestowitz[TR2] Linux on Power has its niche for particular ISVs. Yep we are looking at you SAP (big memory and multiple threads play well for enterprise customers) For everyone else, Intel is good enough. [11:54] schestowitz[TR2] When it comes to Linux on Intel, the market has spoken, and power reflects that with their market share losses (aix and OS/400 have both seen 50% + drops in legacy ISV support) [11:54] schestowitz[TR2] It was time to change horses, and Power was in the bullseye [11:54] schestowitz[TR2] There is an under the radar observation to be made which is interesting. Look at the AMD content that has wormed its way into IBM products sets. This is especially true when it comes to storage.

( and probably before ) Its really just gaslighting. Thats all it is. Sleight-of-hand and misdirection. Make up some hype that will be the next great thing. Then when it comes time to deliver. , you forget about this and come up with another great hype to be the next great thing . Use as many buzz words and clich as you can. See how many investors you can fool. [11:54] schestowitz[TR2] Really is amazing the corruption level. The greed of the senior leadership at the cost of the company is really sad. It was once a great company. I worked there for 18 years. I saw the spiraling first hand. Mostly stunningly bad over the last handful of years. Every year spiraling down has accelerated a little more. At some point people will stop wanting to play the shell game., and the house of cards comes crumbling down .

[11:54] schestowitz[TR2] Nothing wrong about lying lets have more of that.

[11:54] schestowitz[TR2] "C racker B arrel is not a broken brand but it has a broken board." [11:54] schestowitz[TR2] Now replace CB with IBM. [11:54] schestowitz[TR2] An investor warned CB MULTIPLE TIMES... "don't do it" was his message, but the CB CEO and the board didn't listen, ignored him completely, and went with it anyway. Burned tons of cash, stock value, etc. [11:54] schestowitz[TR2] IBM needs a courageous investor that has the c oo j oo n ee s to speak up, sooner rather than later. But who?

[11:54] schestowitz[TR2] He's trying to salvage the shreds of his bonus for 2026 buy making false declarations all over the news. He would sell his mother and grandmother to the Mexican cartels if they were around.
