[Am-info] IBM evaluates Linux for internal desktop use.

[John J. Urbaniak]

What a joke!  IBM has had a superior PC OS for 15 years - OS/2.

They couldn't implement their own OS.  I have no faith that they will be
able to implement Linux.

Besides, they're such cowards, Microsoft will play hardball with IBM and
they'll surrender again.

My advice to those who are counting on IBM to save or promote Linux -
forget it.  They are cowards and scum of the lowest order.  When things
get tough, IBM will abandon you.  Then they'll treat you like lepers.
After a while, they'll blame you for their own mismanagement.
