[magoo]

Thanks for sharing this.  I added it to the Meeting Notes...
My gut was right... the desktop (office apps) IS crucial!

> IBM's Samuel J. Docknevich, Linux and Grid Services Executive for IBM
> Global Services Americas discusses the company's Desktop Linux strategy
> and the current opportunity to extend the benefits of open standards
> from the server to the client environment in his presentation, ”The time
> is now for Linux on the Desktop.” 

FANTASTIC!  Now if the LDC can deliver... over the next year!

> Applications for Linux are
> driving Linux deployments and Sam Hiser of  OpenOffice.org discusses the
> impact that the open-source office suite and more application has on the
> increasing number of Linux desktops emerging throughout the world.

AMEN!  All you IT professionals should be very hopeful!
