I think you're talking out of your hat here.
As an IBMer, I see a strong internal commitment to platform-agnostic applications.
FYI... IBM supports Linux as a client platform for users for whom it is appropriate. For those few applications that can't be served up to non-windows users at this time, IBM provides multi-user Windows (Citrix Metaframe / Microsoft Terminal Services). We're not all the way there yet, but I see progress every quarter.
I haven't seen any company with as much cross-platform commitment as IBM internally. I think they're walking the walk in addition to talking the talk.
