** EXTERNAL EMAIL - USE CAUTION ** As usual, The Register is fairly informative: https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theregister.com%2F2020%2F10%2F08%2Fibm_splits_off_services_division%2F&data=02%7C01%7CRon.Wells%40OMF.COM%7C21c6e08db21f44760c8608d86c72d808%7C57c0053cb5f84a1e8bb6e8afa09f3b82%7C0%7C1%7C637378587789244679&sdata=KZ2xDi234RYteoD%2FiXVqCVErMx%2Fs7Ap5%2BlhaYPJBtYw%3D&reserved=0 As I read this, if you're with IBM Outsourcing you job is headed off to NewCo; for the rest of us nothing much changes. Unfortunately I don't see much hope of an increased or distraction-free focus on Z; instead Z becomes even more of a footnote to Red Hat and cloud. (Just my reading of things; I don't really know any more than anyone else.)
