RUMOURS AND FEVERED SPECULATION AMONGST delegates here at the Etre conference in Berlin is that IBM is seriously considering dumping Windows as a standard within its organization.

We’ll try wriggle more out of people over here, this is a juicy one, indeed... "
On the other hand, considering the current heated battle with SCO, it's not likely to be Linux. At least _I_ wouldn't bet the house on it unless it was signed, sealed, and delivered (in triplicate and noptarized).
