Lenovo's margins are still razor-thin. The thing that bothers me most about IBM keeping POWER and Z is that I can't afford either, because the margins are eye-watering.

Fine, thin margins. So grow your market share and revenue, which is exactly what they did.

Since ~2005 they have ~5x'ed their revenue. Which is pretty significant if you consider one of IBM's big problems has been declining revenue. Proving the problem with the business wasn't the business itself but IBM management.
