RUMOURS AND FEVERED SPECULATION AMONGST delegates here at the Etre conference in Berlin is that IBM is seriously considering dumping Windows as a standard within its organization.
If the rumours turn out to be true, that?s likely to act as a sliver of ice in the heart of Microsoft, because, after all, what will IBM replace the OS with?

It won?t be OS/2, that?s for sure? we could guess, but we?ll let our readers do that, instead. We guess some ideas have sprung to mind already.

We?ll try wriggle more out of people over here, this is a juicy one, indeed...

I hope they will move to linux..
that would be great for ardware support!

but we shall consider that IBM already own a good os for workstation: AIX /http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/os/index.html

AIX, like Linux, is just another flavor of Unix. Go, IBM! Finally, IBM can payback Bill Gates for developing DOS for IBM, then claiming it as his own. Only trouble is, Bill stole DOS from Digital Research (DR DOS).
