One of the (many) criticisms of IBM and OS/2 was that IBM didn't principally use it itself or offer it on many of their systems.

"Why won't IBM eat its own dog food?"

It's good to see IBM finally moving off it. I hope it's not just an isolated win for Linux inside the company.

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who figures this move by IBM is about 12 years later than it should have been...)
