IBM chief executive Louis Gerstner said Tuesday that his
company will spend $1 billion on Linux next year. Gerstner made the announcement at the eBusiness Conference and Expo in New York. IBM is making the commitment, Gerstner said, because it "is convinced that Linux can do for business applications what the Internet did for networking and communications"--make computing easier and free from proprietary operating systems. Irving Wladawsky Berger, IBM's vice president of technology and strategy, said in an interview Wednesday the company already has invested about $1 billion in Linux, "and you can expect that to grow in 2001." "We see Linux as a major force in IT and moving IT to the next generation of the Internet business," he said. "So we are supporting Linux across all of our hardware platforms, our middleware and our services business." |
