What is the basis for the troll's hatred of IBM? Could it be that it once worked for the company and was fired for being a troll? How's your discrimination suit going troll?
Most children could understand my links, but since you can't, I'll spell them out to you.
IBM's CEO was kissing up to the Chicoms almost 10 if not more years ago. You saw the link.
Now, according to the another link, 80% of the Chinese government computers are all running Linux, not so coincedentally a product IBM is furiously pushing these days.
The Chinese aren't running many Microsoft's products on their goverment computers, they actually have mandates against them, see the links again. Gates is just trying to get his foot in the door, but IBM apparently already owns the building.
They compete against his beloved Microsoft and make money off of open source.
