Not completely.  The Intellistation series (high-end PC's as graphics 
workstations) is still made by IBM.

Even the current Lenovo stuff is still being designed and manufactured 
by exactly the same people sitting at the same IBM sites.  There hasn't 
been enough time to break them out yet.  They just switched hats.

Peace...  Sridhar
