Dell and IBM still won't completely commit to Linux, doesn't mean you won't eventually have to accept it.

Who ever said that? Of course they're going to keep Microsoft around...says so in the article. It's just curious that IBM and Google seem to be preparing Linux releases. If this is a standards compliant toolset (the IBM Desktop) it could be quite the thing.

IBM OpenDesktop is what they call it I think, few people have even seen it, most that have say it pretty much sucks. But Google, LOL, that reminds me, how many freaking threads did we see on here about Google, they had the next version of Linux, blah blah blah, but did they ever have it, or even actually anything close? Nah. Not about to, either.
