Not really. IBM has a long positive history of supporting Linux. RedHat has always been a commercial operation so nothing much will change there and the software side will gain access to expertise that's needed for future computer hardware developments.
In January 2000, IBM announced that it was adopting Linux and would support it with IBM servers, software and services. More than that, IBM would leap in and become a major supporter of Linux, contributing broad resources to the community to help make Linux better—more specifically, good enough for enterprise-level business—and provide Linux credibility within the IT industry and with customers. The total investment: US$1 billion.
