| the flexibility and open standards of the Linux operating systems. Linux
| can play a major role in the simplification of the IT infrastructure--not
| only because it helps simplify business integration through the use of
| open and industry standards, but also because it supports deployment of
| new solutions more quickly and accelerates time to market.
