        IBM acquires Telelogic and Cognos, reprioritizing software and data intelligence ? in other words, middleware ? as core businesses. The deals end a string of more than 50 software acquisitions in eight years that include Princeton Softech, DataMirror, SRD, Trigo, Alphablox and PWC?s consulting business.<br><br>The lesson here? History repeats itself. IBM?s focus on innovation has indeed helped it adapt ? proactively, I might add ? to a changing market.

        @gaberdiye03 I'm afraid that even had Windows Mobile gone open source, there probably wouldn't have been that many OSS developers that would have jumped on board. And I believe that the state of MS's coding might simply have embarrassed it rather than helping.
