I'm very disappointed to know that IBM's personal division was
bought by a Chinese company. The market of Apple is getting smaller
and smaller. I wonder Apple will become one of gadget-making
companies, not selling their user-friendly system software.
Where do you get this? How does the sale of IBM's PC dept to a
chinese company reduce the size of Apple's market?
I'm not sure how it would reduce Apple's market share directly - but
it COULD have an adverse affect on Apple.
"How?" you say?
Well, its not clear yet how much of what IBM is selling to the Chinese
company is what - but remember, IBM makes and sells its processor
chips to Apple...
They're selling their PC business. That's evident. You know, the
business they have which requires them to buy huge numbers of
Pentium-class chips from Intel despite having a huge investment in
producing PowerPC-class chips.
T be honest, I still don't see how this hurts Apple. The IBM PC is no
more, and the world may be flooded with another cheaper PC make but
that PC maker is going to be fighting Dell, not Apple.
