[News] IBM, Open Source, and Linux -- BusinessWeek

Peer Innovation and Production

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux adoption, meanwhile, was growing quickly. Customers were
| increasingly asking about running Linux on IBM hardware, and the
| company was finding that new hires from universities were fluent in
| Linux and supported open source.
| 
| Linux offered solutions. It was a scalable operating system that
| would work well on small servers and could grow to handle heavier
| tasks. Because it was free, customers could try it easily. These
| advantages would help shift the locus of differentiation from
| operating systems to services and solutions, IBM's sweet spot.
