The irony being that they are both about the same
thing. They used Linux and open source software
to fill a need, so what? "Open source" is not
promoting anything because it is just a
development methodology and not an company, group
or entity. Did you actually read the articles
that you pointed to or is this just another one
of your uninformed and biased attempts?

To quote the article (regarding open source
software)
http://www.techworld.com/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=displaynews&NewsID=1024:

"We used to use proprietary real-time
operating systems for our tag readers but the
hardware support lagged and the networking layers
became expensive," Gray said. "Linux offers us
huge flexibility, network connectivity, has good
hardware support, and a range of development
tools."

Sorry, this is not IBM!
