Seriously, i expected that IBM would have done something massive and significant for the open source world for years.
I expected IBM to build, sell and heavily market Linux based PC with unique abilities available neither for Windows based PC nor for Mac.
For example IBM could have used some of its unique and powerful processors, such as the Power 6 and the cell, to build Powerful Linux loaded PC which would slaughter either traditional PC and Mac for multimedia, high requirements processing and why not gaming.
Alas IBM chose to sell its PC department to Lenovo and is no more really involved in PC manufacturing business.
However it is never too late and IBM could be more involved in the spreading of Open Source solutions.
