Your post shows that you have no knowledge of Linux in specific or of platform migration in general.
First, how do you qualify or support the idea that these managers couldn't switch desktops within 5 years? ? These are managers at IBM....they've already been through a few switches. And this bit about changing the data "from one format to another"...which format, and what data?
Point is, you have no clue what this migration will entail. Neither do I...but IBM's internal IT organization has a pretty good idea of the situation, I'm betting. If the CEO is sending out memos challenging them to do that, I expect it is well within reach.
