" IBM executives today described a technical revolution in IT
akin to the steam engine or electricity, and they placed Linux at
the core of their strategy for dealing with what's seen as the next
generation of computing...."
"The reason we are so excited about Linux is we believe
Linux can do for applications what the Internet did for
networks," Wladawksy-Berger said. The industry needs common
APIs, common tools and a common set of skills, which will open up
economic opportunities to build on top of that common base. Those
common applications will work on all platforms."
"Linux is extremely popular. It's already the fastest-growing
operating system out there," he said. "We have just about
Linux-enabled all of our products."
