Comments on: Lenovo completes buy of IBM's PC business

The $1.75 billion deal creates the world's third-largest PC maker, trailing only Dell and Hewlett-Packard in sales.

The title reads like Lenovo just bought IBM instead of just their PC biz

Where are the editors for this site? First the one about Bill Gates wanting to scrap H1-B visas, which clearly misrepresented what he was saying and now Lenovo buying IBM... Not impressive.

Headline looked ok to me.

IBM's PC business is just a small portion of IBM's overall assets. They still have a small intrest in the buyers business as well. I don't believe that this sale included the server technology side either. So I would say the Headline was accurate or at least pretty close.

Microsoft's Windows OS Dominance!

With Microsoft's Windows Operating System being the dominant OS worldwide with over 90% of the PC market share it will be quite interesting to see how companies (Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo...) involved in the PC businesses will perform; also, moving forward, how the adoption of the "64-bit" version of Windows and other operating systems will reshape the worldwide PC marketplace; all this, in addition to the degree of penetration of the Open Source products which comes with SLAs that can influence the TCOs one way or the other!

Lenovo and Linux!

Lenovo is a little more Linux friendly than some of the other PC
makers and it will be interesting to see how this will shape up in
the US market. With IBM pushing its Linux strategy into high
gear while also having a minor stake in Lenovo should bring
some needed tech flavor to the computer industry in the near
future.
