One could also look at it as IBM taking clues from M$, buy up the
competition, then close it down. However IBM has been very supportive
of linux in the past in terms of throwing code over the fence, so I
don't see it happening. I think we'll see a different linux, with a
customer face that looks more and more like windows, so the conversion
of the customers machinery will work evermore like windows, just to ease
the pain of the customers learning curve. Its not a problem for me since
I've only had one xp machine in my whole life, and when I found the
windows driver for the wifi in that lappy was just as broken as the
linux driver, the xp got blown away in favor of Mandrake. And I've
never looked back, having oozed into a multitasking/multiuser os called
os9 at in about 1984, then to a family of amiga's and on to RedHat 5.0
in 1998. So one could say I've never gotten used to windows and its
miriad of bad habits.
So while I haven't had a Red Hat based install since I bailed out at
about fedora 2, too many rats died from their "experiments". Now I've
been running debian wheezy on all my machine drivers. OLd, out of
support but it just keeps on running.
Overall, I think its going to be good.

The discussion about Linux to reach ~10% market shares and more,
for home computers in the world some month ago,
was that companies as RedHat and IBM, proposes an "easy" Linux.
Recently, this wish is on the success road, IBM bought RedHat.
Now, hope that IBM will materialize a good Linux system,
able to be used by every one and not only a cloud Linux...
Good evening,
André
