A few months ago John Carr -------------------- OUT OF CONTEXT: LINUX LUNACY "I'm not a big fan [of IBM's Linux push]. We call it Linux lunacy. We think they expect too much. They're probably investing too much. IBM's primary motive has been to create an application platform on all of their servers so that developers can write to one interface and suddenly have availability to all the servers. But in the business world, we don't see those developers coming. You see a lot of developers around the Linux-type market -- Web servers, anything focused around Apache, tools, kiosk-like things, but you don't see general-purpose applications. We don't see our clients begging for it, either. We don't see the business need. Let me be proven wrong." -- Tom Bittman, Gartner Group vice president and research director
