I suspect this means IBM just isn't enthused about the desktop market
(which is what a laptop is), so isn't dedicating resources to it, only to
the server space.

Damn this move on seemingly everyone's part _away_ from the desktop as
more and more companies embrace Linux on the desktop is getting annoying.
