Now that the US government has resoundingly approved the IBM-Lenovo deal (which, if rejected, would have required an explanation as to why the flow of technology into China for years suddenly was improper), we get to see the full impact of the deal.

But the long term beneficiaries may be Oracle, Microsoft, Intel, VIA, and AMD.
