    Diego said it best regarding IBM's exit from the PC business:
More than anything, what will be missed the most will be the innovation that Thinkpads championed
The Thinkpads were the best Intel based laptops, as far as I was concerned - size/form factor, features, and reliability. At ApacheCon, the dominant notebook brands were Apple and IBM, by far. As an IBM shareholder, I want the company to exit non-profitable businesses. As a person who might one day want an Intel based Linux notebook, I'm sad.
