IBM is really good at hyping tech and then finding a mark and squeezing real hard. Just look at how they wrung hospitals for exorbitant amounts of money for Watson. If someone bought an IBM solution they should be fired.
Ha, your comment is ironic since I still remember from back in the 70's/80's that "nobody got fired for buying an IBM". The quote might even be older than that, but I had first heard that quote when Microsoft was still on the rise handing IBM their butts in the fledgling PC marketplace.
