| I think that’s the open secret behind IBM’s Linux engagement. By ensuring
| that there is a viable competitor to Windows, at least on the server, IBM is
| keeping Microsoft’s pricing in check, leaving more money to be spent on other
| software packages. Is there anything wrong with it? Not really, it is just
| competitive strategy, to the benefit of the customer in this case.
