Which of the computing giants do you prefer?
Some people are really MS, or pro Google etc... do you have any company that you particularly like or is it the lesser of two evils?

If one is considering overall philosopy of the company I'd go with IBM

Who needs IBM?
I'd go with Microsoft, Google, then Intel. But I prefer AMD. |

IBM rock out of the whole lot.
All of our main servers are IBM's with a few Dell's alongside. I'm also a big Fan of google, but i try to stay away from Microsoft stuff, thus why we don't use W2K3 on servers unless a client requires it

Is this a trick question ... or am I being dumb today.
There is only one "computing" giant listed. You list Intel but NOT AMD You list Microsoft, but not Mac or Linux (had to sneak that one in) You list Google, but not Yahoo. (insert the rest here) The only "computing" giant I see is IBM ... and they are as bad as the rest. Abstention.

AMD
If I had to choose one of that lot it would be IBM as they're responsible for some good things. They also collaborate with Linux people. But, as with Mucks - Abstain

OK, perhaps "computing" was a bit misleading - but Hardware/IT/Computing related - all household names

Ok, voted AMD.
I was thinking, the omission of AMD in that list may very well reflect the general public's perception of computing 'giants'. AMD? Who they?
