IBM and Who

Got some would be experts pushing an all MS environment to a startup
company.  They (these experts) claim that Linux is not ready for serious
consideration.  Talking to them (at their preliminary presentation) it
became obvious to me (but only me) that they have no clue as to what Linux
is capable of today.  It seems the only products they know are MS and
therefore the only products they have to offer are MS based.

As a side bar, I have been talking with IBM concerning Linux and their AS400
line.  IBM thinks Linux is ready.  Google found just over 2.5 million web
pages on IBM and Linux.  I have to believe other big players (other than
IBM) have also embraced Linux.

If any of you (PLUG) can remember such other players, their names would help
me find them.  At the next presentation by these so called experts, I would
love to present them with a big bite of Linux reality. 

Thanks in advance, George
