IBM is working with a couple of partners to introduce Linux-based virtual desktop PCs in a move aimed straight at the heart of Microsoft's business.
IBM on Thursday said it is working with Virtual Bridges and Canonical to develop a Ubuntu Linux-based solution with Lotus collaboration software to drive significant savings compared to Microsoft's desktop software.
Virtual Bridges, Austin, Texas, is the developer of the VERDE Linux-only virtual desktop infrastructure solution with an integrated connection broker, KVM-based virtual machine technology, multimedia and sound support, local printing support and other typical Windows-based solution features.
