According to an internal memo leaked to that irascible publication, the Inquirer, IBM CIO Bob Greenberg wants to move everyone in IBM to a Linux desktop, complete with Open Source accoutrements.
...our chairman has challenged the IT organization, and indeed all of IBM, to move to a Linux based desktop before the end of 2005. This means replacing productivity, web access and viewing tools with open standards based equivalents.
A massive undertaking to say the least. Good luck Big Blue!
