Can't you read!?!

It's IBM! not IMB! It was like that since the beginning. I did not edit my post to correct any mistake... even if it says so at the end of my post. I'm not crazy, you are!

P.S.: IMB means "International Majestic Belchers™"

Edit: Bummer! I was able to edit the title of my first post but not the title of the thread. I should have know this would happen someday.

Back on topic, Anyone noticed about how we hear more and more of companies and government trying to break free of windows/microsoft clutch?

On top of my head: IBM, Government of Japan, Government of China, Government of England (not 100% sure about this one), and many more I can't recall. It's no wonder Microsoft is starting a new campaing aimed directly against Linux. Billy's getting scare:

And the song of the day is:

I Want to Break Free
