IBM's vice president of Linux, Scott Handy, said the Chiphopper program will greatly increase the number of applications in the Linux industry, or "ecosystem."

Hmmm...ok.

I saw this:

"It's generally part of an effort to fight the perception, held in many quarters, that Linux is nothing more than an x86 phenomenon," said Stephen O'Grady, an analyst at RedMonk. "IBM wants to expand (application) vendors' horizons to non-x86 platforms."

And immediately thought about the new CELL chip IBM is building for SONY and Toshiba which is an incredible performer but for PC applications will need Software.
