"The other poor companies such as IBM and Sun eat into their high-margin products everytime they support Linux..."
Where does that come from? IBM sells hardware: they have to spend money to put an OS on the hardware they sell. The less that they spend on the OS, i.e., tweaking Linux rather than writing AIX, the more they make on the bottom line.
