I don't know much about it, but in their 2010 Annual Report they said "By becoming a very different company from what we were just a few years ago, we have become much more like the company IBM has been for most of it's history." There was a while when making "IBM-compatible personal computers" (or "computers", as we call them now) was a major revenue-earner for them, and that seems like a major departure from what they'd been doing since the 1910s.
