Their investments in SuSE have rendert IBM non-responsive to what's going on out there, and once more they are going to miss the boot: Mandrake is going to be the king of the linux, because they are practically remaking all the good moves Microsoft did over the past 10 years - while carefully avoiding the "greedy bastards" image Microsoft earned itself.
"United Linux" on the other hand is carefully avoiding the things which made Microsoft so popular, while repeating all the mistakes comercial UNIX vendors did - including unlimited greed, and lack of openness...
UL woud already be dead without IBM, and it will die a slow and painful death instead with IBMs support - and it will drag IBM down with it too. Pitty, IBM was on a good way to regain their past glory, but they obviously forgot the lessons they learned in the 90s again.
