It's not the first, and certainly won't be the last, now Fujitsu Siemens Computers becomes the latest victim of corporate restructuring under the pressure of a global economic turn down.

The partnership established back in 1999 should be dissolved by April, assuming government approval naturally. Hey US, you're not the only country with a stake in today's presidential election -- oh you betcha.
