Source, Andreas Pleschek from IBM in Stuttgart, Germany, who heads
open source and Linux technical sales across North East Europe for IBM
made a very interesting statement..."Andreas Pleschek also told that
IBM has cancelled their contract with Microsoft as of October this
year. That means that IBM will not use Windows Vista for their
desktops. Beginning from July, IBM employees will begin using IBM
Workplace on their new, Red Hat-based platform. Not all at once - some
will keep using their present Windows versions for a while. But none
will upgrade to Vista." "
