corporate speak:

ibm prod dev exec: "oh fiddlesticks, we went big on this linux thing and 
it's helped us push them sun folks into second place. we could also shaft 
one up the redmond folk by bundling our x86 and z-Series boxes with linux. 
but heck, we ain't got nothing to go against the whole Java/.NET/Mono thing"

ibm biz dev exec: "let's adopt PHP. if we get good at it, it may even help 
us bump up IBM Global Services revenue from a gazillion to a babillion. 
plus it help throw some publicity our way, instead of everyone talking abut 
that fiorina chick ditching HP"
