Linux Here, Linux There, Linux Everywhere (Groklaw)

Groklaw examines several situations where Linux is gaining strength, including on IBM executives' desktops. "The Inquirer has a leaked internal IBM memo, they say from IBM CIO Bob Greenberg, asking all IBM executives to switch their desktops to Linux by the end of next year. After they do it, don't you suppose that will be the end of FUD along the lines of "Linux isn't ready for the desktop"? Everyone will just know that if IBM runs Linux on the desktop, so can any other business."

This ZDNet article looks at the IBM decision in more depth.
