That's not true at all, and you'd know that if you actually had access
to anyone at IBM.
There's an enormous push inside IBM to port every piece of software they make
to Linux, and actually--they're not far from being done. From beefy,
impressive things like Tivoli, Domino or DB2, all the way down to making
sure their little download thingie works with linux/firefox, they're doing
a pretty good job of it.
