There are a number of pieces of IBM's business that don't get as much credit as they should. These are categories that people had expected fairly little from and they are turning out to be quite strong, as is typical for systems companies and is certainly true for IBM. |
There is no evidence that points to anything other than a strong second half for IBM. Fundamentals are likely to continue to get better and investors at some point are going to stop worrying. |
There's a growing feeling that Apple isn't the media's best friend. The media companies see downloading (content) as the future of their businesses, and they don't like one company holding 70% or 80% of the market share for making that content available. |

This upgrade to 64 bits, which begins with servers, workstations and high-end game machines, is going to ripple through the entire market place, ... A year from now, very few people are going to be looking for 32 bit notebooks. This is a very big change.
