Well I don't know what you want us to confirm. Sam's comments as reported are correct. IBM Global Services has had a Linux desktop offering in conjunction with Ximian for several months now. IBM has an internal Linux image for desktops (in additions to our Windows 2000 and Windows XP images) which we expect to have 30,000 users of by YE (or approximately 10% of our desktop users). IBM, in conjunction with the OSDL, will be promoting Linux on the desktop in 2004. With the announcement today of IBM Corporate Linux (our new business unit for Linux) was the announcement of some additional focus areas for Linux including: "The Linux Client - the exciting new possibilities of office applications running on Linux".
