That’s because people have learned from history. IBM partners with other
companies because they can not develop high technology on its own. IBM supplies
the money; the other company does the work. They have tried this before. It
always fails miserably. They tried it with Siemens to make phone systems. With
Apple and HP to get a GUI OS. Motorola for CPU’s. Toshiba for memory chips.
Don’t expect any high technology products to come from this.
