READ THE BOOK "BIG BLUE" BY RICHARD THOMAS DELAMARTER.
IT TELLS OF IBM'S USE AND ABUSE OF POWER, HOW IBM BEAT AMONG OTHERS, CONTROL
DATA CORPORATION (CDC). HOW IBM MAKES THE RULES- A GAME OF POWER. THE WAY
IBM BEAT CONTROL DATA WHICH AT THE TIME WAS DELIVERING THE 6600, THE FASTEST
COMPUTER THAT SCIENTIFIC CUSTOMERS HAD EVER SEEN, THE TACTIC'S THAT THEY USED
AND WORKED PARTICULARLY WELL AGAINST CONTROL DATA. A LOT MORE COULD BE SAID
ABOUT WHAT IBM DOES ABOUT WINNING AT ANY COST.
