You got me there. ;-) But what I meant is IBM is not directly generating revenue from desktop hardware, as it does with servers (and quite well, I might add). I am very glad to see its support of Linux as an ISV. It's actually one of those most important ones. I'd like to learn more about the Expeditor Eclipse-based runtime. Something for the new Linux Developer Network we're working on! Hi Mike.

IBM is the only top collaboration software vendor with enterprise market share to support a full suite of products on the Linux desktop (Notes for email, Sametime for IM, Symphony for Editors)... and it has a Linux platform for RIA with its Expeditor Eclipse-based runtime... and IBM has the largest population of desktop Linux users WW... I'd call that a pretty big desktop play ;-) “IBM, is not a Linux desktop player” - I have to disagree politely.
