Red Hat is premium stuff on the servers business.

I think they underpaid. The tech is worth more over time.

When you say Dell, you are talking about cloud infrastructure.
This strengthens IBM in cloud software. Where Amazon is #1, MSFT 2nd, Google 3rd, > everyone else

Yes, it does strengthen IBM for software considerably - yet Dell lead overall. You must understand that IBM is a hardware company first and foremost.
