Lenovo buys more of IBM
Buying the PC part was not enough, lenovo is getting the servers too. This is thr company Michael Dell said wouldn't succeed. Dell was #1 and lenovo was #3 at that time. Now lenovo is #1 and Dell is #3. Much changed in these 9 years.
With Michael Dell making Dell private again, it will be interesting to see the next chapter of the sage. (pic via City A.M.)
