IBM has canceled their contract with Microsoft. They will be using RedHat for the operating system and their own riff on OpenOffice.org for their office suite.

Here's an article on it, and related sites on the Windows Vista Weblog and Groklaw.

IBM--while we're chatting, I just want to mention, I could probably free up some time to train your internal employees. ;>   training@getopenoffice.org
