Linux Brings In $1 Billion in Revenue for IBM

NEW YORK—IBM executives are preparing to announce at the LinuxWorld trade show here that the company received more than $1 billion in revenue from sales of Linux-based software, hardware and services in 2002.

See the date? They've made their first billion from Linux back then.

And.... wanna know about 'IBM the hardware company?'


Code:
1.1 Business Segments[2]

1.1.1 Global Services (57% of Revenue)
1.1.2 Systems and Technology (18% of Revenue)
1.1.3 Software (23% of Revenue)
1.1.4 Global Financing (2% of Revenue)

Yeah, take a guess which of those 4 are the part where they 'sell hardware'.

Ok, you're getting enough free education from me. If you want to learn more, I'll be chargin you some tuition fees.

I ain't givin free clues to clueless peeps no more.
you still don't know or understand what you are talking about, do you?

from IBM Press room - 2011-01-18 IBM Reports 2010 Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results - United States:


Full-Year 2010:
[...]
Revenue of $99.9 billion, up 4 percent, up 3 percent adjusting for currency; up 5 percent, 4 percent adjusting for currency, excluding PLM operations;
maybe 1'000'000'000 is such a big number for you that it blows out your mind & you can't even think any more, but for BIG BLUE that's peanuts

comprende?

information is a necessary though no sufficient condition to rationality.
what is your definition?
unconfirmed & unverifiable?

cheap piece of advice: there is NO information about the "disruptive technology" 'til 21st (@ least); stop wasting your time.

they make money by selling GNU/Linux versions of their standard products like UDB / DB2, Websphere and the like
as well as services for companies who choose to use GNU/Linux & got in above their heads.

this has NOTHING to do w/ Open Source leave alone Free Software.

furthermore it is an oxym o r o n (making money with free software)

MisterCu go make your own thread if you want to argue about off topic subjects unrelated to OUR 100% proven facts on Harmattan

just a question to ask yourself;
why would NOKIA put any HARDWARE disruptive technology on a MeeGo device?
by their own admittance it isn't ready yet for mass acceptance and for the last 4 to 6 months, everybody has been repeating in & out that the platform was dead (@ least as far as NOKIA is concerned).
no provider is going to advice any of its customer to pick a MeeGo device in those conditions, will they?

so why not use the "proven platform" (dixit Stephen Elop taking the Oro out of his pocket)?
a Symbian N9 being a N8 upgrade w/ such a disruptive HARDWARE technology would stand a much better chance exceeding the 4 millions unit of N8s sold in less then a year, no?
