Well, the hype certainly put the zap on your head. "Wonders"? So, if I take a picture of a van Gogh painting, copy it as poorly as a three-year-old child, put an OSI license on it and call it "open van Gogh" that would be wonderous? They are copying known work, shooting for a target that has already been hit. Ignore IBM's and ESR's hype. Linux is a rather poor re-implementation. The BS is the only thing that is "accomplished," unless you count the illusions of grandeur as well. What I'd _really_ like to hear is the status of the total "move-over" to Linux that IBM announced (what was it?) 3 freakin years ago? How is that coming, old Big Bloser?
