Linux Brings In $1 Billion in Revenue for IBM | |
|

"The real flaw is that Sun was forced to adopt Linux and suddenly they had two operating systems to deal with. Our WebSphere business on Solaris is surging because Sun helped us sell the vision of Java, but they are not delivering the software stack on anything but Solaris. We now have 2 million active developers in the WebSphere developer domain," he said. IBM is also finding that many Windows customers now want some Linux, Handy said, but they do not want to throw away their Windows investment. "We have software that runs on Windows, Unix and Linux, and they like our vision, combined with Java, far more than they do the Microsoft-centric .Net vision. "Which is why Microsoft is struggling with the positioning of that whole thing," he said, referring Microsoft's recent decision to drop the .Net in the official name of its upcoming Windows Server 2003. | ||

Just to keep things in perspective...
Windows brought in $28 billion in revenues for Microsoft $33 billion in revenues for Dell Another $30 billion or so for HP/Compaq $6 billion for Gateway Non-Linux stuff also brought in over $70 billion in revenues to IBM Back in 1984 Commodore had revenues of around $1 billion. |

Correction:
IBM's complete solutions and services bring in $1 Billion for IBM. Linux brings in $0. |
