IBM to Purchase Up to 200,000 Macs Annually, With 50-75% of Employees Ultimately Switching From Lenovo - Mac Rumors
I find it very interesting that IBM - who was one of the PC originators and first adopter of DOS is moving to Apple computers. The video says about 50%-75% will get them but I wonder how long that will last.
When I was helping my school district integrate computers into our curriculum in the late '80's, I remember the IBM suits telling us they were the future and how they were going to, "roll up their sleeves and help us get started." Right...the PC's were delivered - at $3600 each - and we never saw them again. We had some Apple II's in the elementary, but I am not sure what they cost us.
Anyway, IBM later sold off their PC division and Apple is still thriving in the market. Now IBM is at Apple's door.
