If IBM take this approach they have a self fulfilling prophesy. If Oops Nav
only works in windows, IBM is, for all intents and purposes, preventing
their customers from totally implementing Linux. Why implement Linux if
Windoze is still required as an operating system.

If IBM created a Linux friendly client, I believe they would see many more
Linux implementations amongst their customers. In addition, they would
confirm their belief in Linux as a viable operating system.
