Yes, that makes two of us. I'll probably go back and read the rest all the same.
The thing is that I have trouble believing IBM will be quiet about this. I doubt
very much they will just quietly let someone assert their number one marketing
baby was beaten in a non-existent match. Perhaps the article was merely bait to
see if IBM will want "to show them", but I think a forthcoming lawsuit is more
likely than a match proposal.
