A company that wholeheartedly endorses Windows in such a frank
manner, and then claims to support Linux, is two-faced at best.
It's like donating money to a political candidate and then voting
for his opponent.  Yes, IBM supports Linux in some ways.  No,
they don't really care about it--they recommend you use Windows
instead.
