This is reminiscent of Sun buying STK and getting into a business they clearly did not understand. If the pattern holds, Larry Ellison will postpone buying his next island and throw a barrelful of cash at Dell. That he does not understand mainframe hardware either is no obstacle for him.

If the sender is not recognized, do not open attachments or click on any Internet links within the message. I mean that the NY Times article also did not mention all of the non-mainframe technologies impacted; for example, they did not mention that Dell would by implication be acquiring the RSA encryption and SIEM businesses of EMC's. My point being that the omission of the mainframe from the article should not be taken as a mainframe slight but rather as an indication of the technological superficiality of the article.
