For the first time, IBM (IBM:International Business Machines and leading Linux
distributors Canonical/Ubuntu, Novell and Red Hat will join forces globally with
their hardware partners to deliver Microsoft-free personal computing choices
with Lotus Notes and Lotus Symphony in the one billion-unit desktop market
worldwide by 2009.
Citing shifting market forces and the growing demand for economical alternatives
to costly Windows and Office-based computers, the four leaders sense an ideal
set of circumstances allowing Linux-based desktops to proliferate in the coming
year. Linux is far more profitable for a PC vendor and the operating system is
better equipped to work with lower cost hardware than new Microsoft technology.
