Have you heard many companies asking for linux desktops? I mean I would
think IBM is fairly responsive, bunch of us keep telling them if they would
just put a touchpad on the thinkpad we would buy them, they did it and
thinkpad sales went nuts.

If they felt the same opportunity existed with Linux desktops don't you
think they would be pushing them all over the place? I mean IBM loves to
sell hardware..
