IBM Finds Another Stick To Poke in Microsoft’s Eye
— Like the Byzantine Empire before it, IBM has cast another bronze tube meant to spit Greek fire at Microsoft and break its siege of the desktop.The ingredients this time consist of Canonical’s Ubuntu operating system and Virtual Bridges’ Virtual Enterprise Remote Desktop Environment (VERDE) 2.0 larded with IBM’s own Smart Client desktop software otherwise known as Lotus Symphony, Notes and Lotus applications, basically e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, unified communication and social networking.

Together they form the Open Virtual Client Solution (OCCS).
