The article underscores the long term strategic advantages of this merger that so many have missed. EDS is a top brand in consulting, especially "wring out the costs by eliminating the complexity and 'your' people, turning them over to us (whew)."

As with a re-energized Avis with Robert Townsend many years ago, that ironically benefited Hertz as much or more than Avis, now IT buyers have two strong shops to choose between. If one doesn't work, you have Avis try harder over at HP, or #1 at IBM.
Any CEO of a major Fortune 500 company will take a sigh of relief knowing that the "other" guy is a safe fall back position. IBM has hardware; HP has hardware. Sweet deal for everyone.
Smart move.
