Commie capitalists! How DARE they decide to run a partially internally-developed system instead of paying Microsoft! Microsoft must be paid by all good capitalists, to do otherwise is communist!

Andreas Pleschek from IBM in Stuttgart, Germany, *who heads open source and Linux technical sales*.....

Why wouldn't he say that? His performance isn't based on
MS seat growth, but on OS and Linux growth.

This is the second (or third?) time IBM has tried this. *yawn* Their ABM strategy usually workout like everyone else's.

Latest news that blows more holes in your BS. Could you have been any more wrong? I don't think so!

http://www.techweb.com/headlines_week/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=181502037

(IBM) denied reports that it's planning to dump Microsoft Corp.'s Windows, a company spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The number of Linux users within the Armonk, N.Y., company is about 5 percent of IBM's 329,000 employees, spokeswoman Nancy Kaplan said.

"We have not made Linux available to the general employee population and there are no plans to do that."

As to whether IBM would upgrade to Vista, the company was in the process of evaluating the OS and had not made a decision, Kaplan said.

Why don't you do something useful, and post something a little more factual next time. Like this:

IBM To Move All Solutions Development Operations To India

http://www.channelweb.com/sections/allnews/article.jhtml?articleId=181502030&cid=ChannelWebNews

IBM disclosed Wednesday that it is moving all of the design and development of its vaunted business consulting offerings to the fast-growing country.
