SecureBlue - The only undeniable consideration regarding SecureBlue would be that IBM does currently control a fairly significant percentage of the managed operations out-sourcing contracts in this country, and a decent amount world-wide. Which means, they control what goes into the customer's operating environment, because they are responsible for any expenses incurred. Of course, the object is to save money always. But if you can off-set that with profits from the sale of more LPAR machines, then you might see it as just another way that Big Blue tries to tie you up so youu can't get out of using their stuff.

They did this very successfully in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s until Microsoft finally changed the whole game.

Let's hope this is the game changer we all believe it to be
