    If you shoot the competitors and reject questions and dissent, then you win. Good job, IBM !

      Didn’t expect this topic to still be that controversial… Maybe I’m too young to know, but how was IBM involved?

        Its not, though. The chain of events is well documented, with much of the original correspondence still there to read and evaluate for yourself. Its arguably not a conspiracy, either, since it was perpetrated by a single entity.

        Their motivations for doing it are the subject of a lot of speculation, some of it pretty wild, but the facts that they did do it and how it was done are public record.
