Is it just me or does this seem like the first major step in the advancement of Linux as a "Business" OS? Or will this new ad campaign land IBM licking their wounds like OS/2?

I personally hope that this helps Linux in the business world, but then again, I liked OS/2 better than Windows and/or DOS...

Actually, I've found that if you sit someone who knows how to move a mouse in front of Linux (or UNIX), and teach them misc commands, command line syntax, etc, they are more often likely to feel fullfilled and empowered.

Of course, this is only people who WANT to know how to use computers. People who don't want to use computers complain about too much mouse clicking.
