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?
