The reason that Apple has an alliance with IBM now has to do with corporate
alliances and shrinking market share for both companies, not with IBM's
technical expertise.
------------------
Why would two companys that were competing with each other get together with
each other so they could decrease the others market share.  That sounds like a
dog chasin' it's tail to me...... then again I don't know anything about
bussiness.  Lets face it .... IBM is good at makin' RISC ships,  Motorola is
good at developing technology to mass produce complex microprocessors, and
Apple is good at designing software and users intfaces that are easy to use
and productive.  Instead of being imature like the rest of the world these
three companies know that "Hey my competetition is better at doing that than I
am... I wonder how they do it???  Imagine what we could do if we worked
TOGETHER and SHARED our knowledge with one another".
