In his finding of facts for United States v. Microsoft, Judge Jackson determined that because of IBM's marketing of Lotus SmartSuite, and other alternatives to Microsoft products ( like World Book electronic encyclopedia instead of Microsoft's Encarta ), Microsoft " punished the IBM PC Company with higher prices, a late license for Windows 95, and the withholding of technical and marketing support.

Sales of IBM's PC had been slow until 1-2-3 was made public, and then increased rapidly a few months after Lotus 1-2-3s release.

IBM purchased the company in 1995 for $ 3. 5 billion, primarily to acquire Lotus Notes and to establish a presence in the increasingly important client – server computing segment, which was rapidly making host-based products like IBM's OfficeVision obsolete.

In large part due to its focusing much of its development resources on a suite of applications for IBM's then new ( and eventually a market failure ) OS / 2 operating system, Lotus was late in delivering its suite of 32 bit products and failed to capitalize on the transition to the new version of Windows.

In 1995, Lotus had over 4, 000 employees worldwide and IBM's acquisition of Lotus was greeted with apprehension by many Lotus employees, who feared that the corporate culture of " Big Blue " would smother their creativity.

While the mass employee defections that IBM feared did not materialize, many long-time Lotus employees did complain about the transition to IBM's culture ( IBM's employee benefits programs, in particular, were singled out as inferior to Lotus's very progressive programs ).

Additionally, the ThinkPad Tablet is able to run software such as IBM's Lotus Notes Traveler.

Among other things, IBM's development and marketing of Lotus SmartSuite placed it in direct competition with Microsoft Office.

AIX / 370 was IBM's third attempt to offer Unix-like functionality for their mainframe line, specifically the System / 370 ( the prior versions were a TSS / 370 based Unix system developed jointly with AT & T c. 1980, and VM / IX a VM / 370 based system developed jointly with Interactive Systems Corporation c. 1984 ).

The SCC cost about $ 5 more than a UART, but offered much higher speeds up to 250 kbit / s ( or higher with additional hardware ) and internally supported a number of basic networking-like protocols like IBM's Bisync.

Most of IBM's early binary " scientific " computers, beginning with the vacuum tube IBM 701 in 1952, used a single 36-bit accumulator, along with a separate multiplier / quotient register to handle operations with longer results.

The Flexowriter printed with a conventional typebar mechanism while the Selectric used IBM's well-known " golf ball " printing mechanism.

This technical leadership and the rivalry with IBM was emphasized when the Systempro server was launched in late 1989-this was a true server product with standard support for a second CPU and RAID, but also the first product to feature the EISA bus, designed in reaction to IBM's MCA ( MicroChannel Architecture ).

EBCDIC descended from the code used with punched cards and the corresponding six bit binary-coded decimal code used with most of IBM's computer peripherals of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Although his career in computing spanned more than two decades, he is mainly remembered in connection with IBM's unsuccessful attempt in 1980 to license CP / M for the IBM PC.

For example, Microsoft's Outlook client uses a proprietary protocol to communicate with a Microsoft Exchange Server server as does IBM's Notes client when communicating with a Domino server, but all of these products also support POP, IMAP, and outgoing SMTP.

However, because of the success of the IBM Personal Computer, the term PC came to mean more specifically a microcomputer compatible with IBM's PC products.

Desktop sized programmable calculators by Hewlett Packard had evolved into the HP 9830 BASIC language computer by 1972, with IBM's releasing its own IBM 5100 in 1975.

The first IBM PC model with an internal non-removable hard disk was IBM's model 5160, the XT.

The agreement with Intel limited their use to IBM's own line of computers and upgrade boards only, so they were not available on the open market.

In contrast, IBM's OfficeVision office productivity software enjoyed great success with 3270 interaction because of its design understanding.

Itanium competed at the low-end ( primarily 4-CPU and smaller systems ) with servers based on x86 processors, and at the high end with IBM's POWER architecture and Sun Microsystems ' SPARC architecture.

* Micronetics Design Corporation with a product line called MSM for UNIX and Intel PC platforms ( later ported to IBM's VM operating system, VAX-VMS platforms and Alpha-VMS platforms )

In practice many customers use multiple mainframes linked either by Parallel Sysplex and shared DASD ( in IBM's case ), or with shared, geographically dispersed storage provided by EMC or Hitachi.

That said, while IBM's zSeries can still run 24-bit System / 360 code, the 64-bit zSeries and System z9 CMOS servers have nothing physically in common with the older systems.

Other MultiMate products included foreign language versions of the software ( i. e., " MultiTexto " in Spanish ), a hardware interface card for file-transfer with Wang systems and versions of MultiMate for different PC clone MS-DOS computers, and for use on Novell, 3COM and IBM's PC Token Ring networks.

Kildall accepted, believing that IBM's new system ( like its previous personal computers ) would not be a significant commercial success.

Some of IBM's engineers and other employees wanted to use the IBM 801 processor, some would prefer the new Motorola 68000, while others argued for a small and simple microprocessor, such as the MOS Technology 6502 or Zilog Z80, which had been used in earlier personal computers.

As part of IBM's Academic Initiative, IBM is offering Informix software, documentation and training to higher education institutions worldwide through its new Informix on Campus program.

SNA was made public as part of IBM's " Advanced Function for Communications " announcement in September, 1974, which included the implementation of the SNA / SDLC ( Synchronous Data Link Control ) protocols on new communications products:

BS12's lasting contribution to history was the use of a new query language based on ISBL, created at IBM's UK Scientific Centre.

IBM used PReP and CHRP for PCI version of IBM's RS / 6000 platform, from existing Micro Channel architecture models, and changed only to support the new 60x bus style of the PowerPC.

The PC clone market did not want to pay royalties to IBM in order to use this new technology, and for desktop machines vendors of PC-compatibles stayed largely with the 16-bit AT bus, ( embraced and renamed as ISA to avoid IBM's " AT " trademark ) and manual configuration, although the VESA Local Bus was briefly popular for Intel ' 486 machines.

This earliest incarnation of MTS was intended as a throw-away system used to gain experience with the new IBM S / 360 hardware and which would be discarded when IBM's TSS / 360 operating system became available.

This originates from the confusion with NetBIOS Extended User Interface, an extension to the NetBIOS API that was originally developed in conjunction with the NBF protocol ; both the protocol and the NetBEUI emulator were originally developed to allow NetBIOS programs to run over IBM's new token ring network.

IBM's other divisions at the location moved to new buildings to the northeast, on the border of Markham.

At first IBM's new mainframe CMOS processors, the IBM 9672 G3 and G4, could not perform as well as spare-no-expense bipolar technology, giving Amdahl a temporary advantage.

The 5100 was based on IBM's innovative concept that, using an emulator written in microcode, a small and relatively cheap computer could run programs already written for much larger, and much more expensive, existing computers, without the time and expense of writing and debugging new programs.

SAA did not define new standards, but selected from among IBM's existing guidelines and software.

On October 17, 1994, IBM's Storage Systems division announced three new families of hard disk drives, the Travelstar 2½-inch family for notebooks, the Deskstar 3½-inch family for desktop applications and the Ultrastar 3½-inch family for high performance computer system applications.

Its assignment was to investigate the feasibility of a new line of computers which would take advantage of IBM's technological advantages in order to render obsolete all previous computers-compatible offerings but also IBM's own products.

Despite the fact that many observers believed that Tom Jr was frittering away the resources his father had built up, these new ranges were remarkably successful, doubling IBM's sales once more over the six years from 1958 ($ 1. 17 billion ) to 1964 ($ 2. 31 billion ), maintaining IBM's dramatic growth rate virtually undiminished at approaching 30 % compound.

It was IBM's first RISC processor intended for high-end applications ( the ROMP was considered a commercial failure and was not used in high-end workstations ), it was the first to implement the then new POWER instruction set architecture and it was IBM's first successful RISC processor.
