By other groups, do you mean engineering? No idea, I don't have any contact with these. What I do see is a shift from _sales_ trying to make clients migrate from AIX to Linux to _sales_ saying "actually, AIX is better".

I meant engineering, professional services, product management, corporate officers.. anything!

Basically I view sales as completely unreliable.

If I were IBM's strategic planners, I would invest significantly in Linux but continue to charge a premium for AIX, which might result in sales saying AIX is better -- but this is just a theory, I don't know anything.
