Well obviously they can't, even though they've been claiming they could for years.

Well gee, I guess they're gonna keep running W2K then (with no more security upgrades?), cause they aren't buying vista. And open office runs on winders as well as linux and mac... so no office sales to go with the no vista sales to IBM. Lets see over 300K seats... thats some some heavy change your master isn't going to see.

And the example set by IBM WILL BE noticed by others.

Lets see, since you're in a position to know; is bill's butt puckering??

Huh? I guess you were convinced by n3wbi3's lies that they cut off security upgrades for W2K, and missed my many corrections that those security upgrades will continue till 2010. I'd be more careful who you listen to from here on.

It sure will! I'm sure not going to recommend any of my customers buy Windows software, or hire Windows consultants, from a company that won't run Windows.

I wish IBM better luck in their second attempt than they had in their first. I awhile back AOL tried this same thing after they bought Netscape. Didn't work out for them, either.

Probably. Since a goodly portion of IBM's bottom line is from services, I'm sure he's glad that IBM is cutting off its nose to spite its face.
