Daring to Dream: Apple & IBM

Posted by Hemos on from the an-unlikely-marriage dept.

Anonymous writes "The Register has a comment piece of the marriage (speculative) between IBM and Apple. Although wildly speculative, it is not improbable. With IBM already supplying PowerPCs to Apple and Apple having not signed up to IBM's PowerPC consortia, there are hints in this get-together. Apple would also supply IBM with the "lifestyle" side of things. If it does happen, it would be most interesting."

    ...but I'm on the side of Big Blue. If this does indeed happen, I hope they dont nix their RS/6000 line or make it anything like the Xserves. I dont mind dropping 10k on a machine, but I dont want to pay 10k to get the Apple glitter, philosophy or operating system. I'll take my robustly built machines, the operating system "made by aliens", SMIT and make things work.

    Until I see Apple supporting something like the GXT6500P or come out with something glitter free, they might as well not exist. The merger might make at least one of those things come true, and I'm betting on the glitter.
