WILL IBM SHIFT STRATEGY? New York Times, Mar.
22, p. D2.  IBM's "open architecture" strategy
regarding its PCs may be changing.  In spite of
denials by IBM, indications are in the rise that
IBM's days of designing an "open architecture"
system, made largely with off-the-shelf parts,
may be over. The strategy has allowed other
companies to write many programs and make
peripheral equipment for the PC, thus enhancing
its attractiveness to users. But observers
speculate that IBM wants to regain control of
its computer's destiny.  Analysts believe the
first truly "proprietary" PC may be introduced
later this year, which will be capable of
high-resolution graphics and displaying
"windows" at high speed, and based on the Intel
80286 microprocessor.
