Gates Fears IBM
Bill Gates, currently showing his face at CES keynote, has cited IBM as the biggest threat to Microsoft, surpassing Google and Apple:
“The biggest company in the computer industry by far is IBM. They have the four times the employees that I have, way more revenues than I have. IBM has always been our biggest competitor. The press just doesn't like to write about IBM,” said Gates.
Don't I like to hear it? After all, IBM is the biggest proponent of open standards in the world, too.
