IBM admits that the memo is real, but insists that it was internal and only meant for the IT people.
The memo itself says IBM's chairman, Samuel Palmisano, had challenged the company's information-technology department, "and indeed all of IBM, to move to a Linux-based desktop before the end of 2005."
There is an internal project at IBM on an Open Source desktop. It is led by Perry Riggs, in Austin. All of it is real, and confirmed, except for the scope.
