You misunderstand reality. Most liberals who have actually read the Constitution, would agree, hands down, that Republicans love the Constitution much more than Democrats ever could. Republicans like to read it for exactly what it says and nothing more nor less. Democrats like to focus on what it should mean today. Generally though, liberals love the Bill of Rights much more than Republicans. Democrats want a very strict reading of the Bill of Rights (think: nearly unlimited freedom of the press) while Republicans go for the more what it should mean today (in the face of terrorism, etc).
Alas for IBM... they weren't nimble enough to keep their business going.
Only $91.1 billion in revenues for fiscal year 2005. One of the largest companies in the world. For comparison - Microsoft only had $39.8 billion in revenues.
Until you actually know something about the way a business works from the business strategy side, you may want to reconsider rising above your techie job into the CEO position. Most people regard IBM as one of the most successful companies today.
Why will Microsoft survive and thrive - great business sense. The tech community may not like all their steps, but they know the business like no one else. Apple just can't seem to understand what common people really go for in computers (but they sure figured it out for music players). Linux just doesn't have a business side to it that really caters to the common man. Microsoft dominates unless someone can step up to the plate.
