IBM's Answer To Windows 7 Is Ubuntu Linux
IBM's Answer To Windows 7 Is Ubuntu Linux: "An anonymous reader writes 'It looks like IBM isn't much of a friend of Microsoft's anymore. Today IBM announced an extension of its Microsoft-Free PC effort together with Canonical Ubuntu Linux. This is the same thing that was announced a few weeks back for Africa (a program that began a year ago), and now it's available in the US. The big push is that IBM claims it will cost up to $2,000 for a business to move to Windows 7. They argue that moving to Linux is cheaper.'
