Well, IBM doesn't make desktops or laptops any more (sold the business to Lenovo), so I don't think that's an option.

My first reaction was: good for IBM. Not so sure about RH.
One commentary I saw said something about buying a company that gives its main product away for free. That hasn't been true for a VERY long time, so mainstreamers will continue to be confused, apparently.
The biggest distraction this could create is if IBM decides that this is a great time to try again to push desktops or laptops with preinstalled Linux.
