[ltp] Linux and IBM

[Robert A. Munro]

Tom,

Don't hold your breath for IBM to risk offending M$.  Yesterday IBM
backed away from allowing any other OEM vendor to offer a new OS/2 client
based upon the new Aurora OS/2 Server technology.  They're still scared
sh*tless of M$, and will remain so until the last M$ appeal is denied in
the antitrust suit (figuring that M$ will eventually escape it).
