I guess many of these users never again will buy network gear from IBM.

Too much risk involved for IBM to select Brocade for network products, when Brocade is potential takeover target for several companies in the valley. If HP really feels the heat, then HP would make a bid to buy BRCD. I would tend to agree this comment if IBM/HP makes a bid to buy BRCD before Brocade start shipping network products for IBM.
