You are completely right. IBM is a company after innovation and technology. IBM consistantly has the most patents per year and at least double the number of patents then the closest second place company. They are just going after different market segments. IBM doesn't see HP as a bigger threat now. IBM just got rid of a portion of it business that had no real value add when it came to high end technology and innovation.
Basically good luck HP with the consumer market while you have to compete with Asia on making consumer electronics.

Yep HP is #2 or #3 but IBM just ahead... Try way ahead... double the number of patents.
