Popular investment advisory report talks about the Linux/IBM
announcements. “
…IBM announced yesterday that it will now offer the option of
machines that run the Linux O/S, as opposed to solely offering
machines that run the Microsoft O/S.”
“In other words, for customers that have been back and forth
between the box makers and MSFT in attempting to get a refund for
their preinstalled MSFT O/S’s that are never used, they now have
direct access to the alternative which they have been looking
for…”
“As for when a turning point would occur in this ongoing saga
and, subsequently, significant barriers broken, that will come
if/when the big three boxmakers (CPQ,DELL and GTW) offer the choice
between Linux and MSFT’s O/S.”
