Re: Half what IBM paid for it.

I'm thinking that since IBM will be their largest client (and there are plenty more but not nearly the size), some clever finance people worked out how the ROI will look and when they need to break even on the original investment. I hope that when they did that calculation they added some margin for barrels of lipstick - to put on the pig.
