IBM is going to produce the first marketable Quantum Computer.
And who is going to buy it? The people interesting in WATSON … maybe.
There is blood in the water.
Famously, Thomas J. Watson, Jr. said around 1950 "Nobody's going to
buy computers. The whole world will need about four of them."
IBM need to do a Micrsoft and bring in a visionary CEO to turn them
around. Satya Nadella has reinvented Microsoft from root to branch.
Microsoft are now one of the biggest contributors to open source
software in the world. Who would have thought that under Steve Balmer?
They also make great products that people want to buy. I'm afraid that
IBM isn't going to win in the cloud when they are up against the likes
of Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
