Great article. It's causing me to spin all kinds of wacky "what if" scenarios. Especially, what if IBM decides to use Linux on the desktop to extract revenge against Micro$oft for walking away from OS/2 years ago?
Here's my wacky prediction: IBM buys RedHat and batches of talented UI designers, and _gives_ away a truly user-friendly desktop as open source. What would M$ do? Why shouldn't IBM do to the desktop what Sun is trying to do to M$ Office via Star Office? http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2860393,00.html John Hebert __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
