There was a brief article today on osonline stating that IBM was giving up
its unix OS and switching to Linux. That has interesting implications. The
Open Source movement is the most successful communal effort ever at building
something of value. Now a large capitalist power wants to stake its future
on that movement. IBM is giving up AIX, something they've invested billions
in over the years, and instead will try to be good members of the open
source community. What will capitalism think of next?
