Telelogic acquisition takes IBM closer to the applications business
So IBM can say otherwise, but I see IBM as in the applications business of the future, top to bottom. ISVs don't necessarily have to quake in their boots, but the enterprises and end users that need solutions, regardless of the code approach, should expect to see IBM and its close partners showing up in a lot of new places ... living rooms, cars, planes, tanks, missiles ... and in new ways ... consulting, compositing, architectural methods, tools, and systems development, libraries of solutions.
