Big Blue's virtual desktop includes open source system and application
software.

IBM has introduced a line of business computers that eschew
Microsoft's ubiquitous desktop environment in favor of an amalgam of
open source software.

The system, which IBM calls the Open Collaboration Client, combines
the Linux operating system with IBM's open source Lotus Symphony
desktop package.

Symphony includes word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet
applications based on the Open Document Format.  IBM Lotus Notes apps
are also available.

  "[What open source is actually achieving is to reduce] the ability of
   proprietary companies to collect secrecy rent."  -- Eric S. Raymond
