Wonderful.
When are they going move their employees off the Windows platform and onto
the Linux platform like they promised years ago?

It's hysterical when a company like IBM can build and write code for a
supercomputer but can't seem to migrate their employees laptops to Linux.

Maybe IBM should call Munich or Vienna for advice?

Hahahahahha!

I'm not familiar with the particulars, but I think this demonstrates that
technical achievements are sometimes "easier" than changing people's
minds.

Sounds like a good idea for a non-profit organization to collect
information from IBM and so forth for reference. Err, preferably not
associated with "get the facts" )
