While MS is a major partner for IBM, it provides just one of the operating systems IBM supports.
On Intel/AMD servers IBM has the many MS Windows products and Linux. On POWER servers IBM has i5/OS (formerly OS/400), AIX and Linux. On zSeries mainframes IBM has z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE, TPF and Linux.
You will of course notice that Linux is the common item here. Linux and Open Source are CORE to IBM's On Demand Business strategy. IBM will not, and can not afford to, give in to MS.
