This was actually the play that IBM did when it created the PC. They opened a facility in Florida far from their corporate headquarters in New York.

In Boca Raton. I think they moved the whole facility to Austin by now, but it was a very interesting campus when I did an internship there in 1995. The office I had used to be occupied on Microsoft who just stopped working with IBM on OS/2. Also, it being Florida and me being only 20, no one carded us when we went out for drinks.
