,----[ Quote ]
| "This strategy for open source beyond Linux will be a bigger disruptive
| force in the next three years than Linux was in the last 15," Scott Handy,
| IBM's vice president of worldwide Linux and open source, said in a phone
| interview ahead of the announcement.
|
| [...]
|
| The Linux market neared $7 billion in 2005, according to market
| researcher Gartner, and Linux holds about 12 percent of the
| server operating-system market, according to research firm IDC.
|
| IBM said it has more than 15,000 Linux-related customers.
|
| "We know for sure that we can repeat this model," IBM's Handy said.
