I am suprised at them putting it in London all our Banks, Insurance companies and jobs are now going to India why pay £5, £6, or £7 per hour, when they can get the job done for £4 per week, and our government is so pathetic it lets them do it.

Well, in using MacOSX, the might use the BSD-kernel.

And believe it or not, IBM has become a benefactor. Free systems and so on. If u believe this one, I can tell even other stuff.

IBM + linux = linux + death
