Big Blues:
Why IBM Is in Trouble
By Robert X. Cringely
-------------------------------------------------------------------
No word this week from Sam Palmisano. The CEO of IBM was strangely 
silent following my column last week about Google and Microsoft that 
also touched on the malaise at IBM -- a malaise very much of Mr. 
Palmisano's making. But the troops inside IBM Global Services DID reply, 
and uniformly supported my grim news from last week that their company 
has entered a death spiral of under-bidding and then under-delivering.

Why would a company DO that? Why would they compromise a reputation 
built over decades? Because decades no longer matter to publicly traded 
American companies. All that really matter are fiscal quarters......
