I'd argue that IBM hasn't really changed at all. If anything, they've reverted. Their acquisition of PwC's consulting arm looked like a diversification, but was really just a further vertical extension of their existing big-hardware business. They got entirely out of microcomputing with the sale to Lenovo. They are a Big Iron company through and through, just like they started.
