Anyone member when IBM decided it was an “ideas company” or some bullshit like that?
I mean, they still make more than I do, but when was the last time anybody thought of IBM?

For consumer electronics? Probably as long time. For industrial applications? Quite often.

That’s true, it took them 10-15 years but they built a huge service business. I was specifically referring to the loss of the desktop market to the “clones” which has a rough equivalence.
It was more of a cheap shot than a serious prediction ☺️ As long as MS controls the licensing and software this is a completely logical move.
