I'm convinced sales forecasters don't actually understand how software ecosystems work.

From a stack perspective, you can't really go it alone anymore. The total necessary software universe is too large to rebuild on a reasonable timescale, and too expensive to rebuild by oneself.

IBM is about the smallest scale that can do this -- and even they're leveraging decades of effort.

IBM and Apple. Which makes Apple's Big Brother ad even funnier.

Although IBM is doing it x2, with s390x and also with POWER.
