IBM, service with a smile!

from the big-money-deals dept

Ryan Bethencourt writes “It looks like IBM’s sink or swim move has begun to pay off! With the 6 billion dollar deal between IBM and Dell, it seems that big blue’s a rising star again. This could be the begining of a very lucrative period for IBM!” I’m less sure that this is really that big of a deal, or a great sign for IBM. Announcing deals like this makes for great press, but executing and turning them into something is a completely different story altogether. How will this deal be looked on five to ten years from now?
