Ford move to Linux not true (NewsForge)

This seems to be a week for rumors. Several alert readers have sent in links to articles that say (with a disturbing lack of detail) that Ford Motors is moving to Linux. NewsForge digs deeper. "[Communications Manager, Joan] Witte said "Like any other company, Ford Motor is looking at Linux, primarily in the application space. We presently have an enterprise-wide agreement with Microsoft to handle our collaborative solutions. We aren't contemplating using Linux in this area, and don't contemplate doing that in the foreseeable future.""
