Earlier this week some information circulated about an internal IBM study which since October 2007 has considered the possibility of switching some of IBM’s internal computers from Windows to the Mac OS. At this point it looks like the study is in the early stages (apparently only 24 employees were involved). According to a news story in The Inquirer:

The pilot programme was launched in October 2007, to check out the options and feasibility of moving a few of IBM’s 300,000 employees to the Mac platform. Unsurprisingly, Cupertino is rubbing its hands in glee, and is doing its utmost to step up its level of Mac support for IBM’s business applications.

IBM is apparently fed up of being tied to Windows, and is looking toward a more diverse, pastel-hued and cross-platformed future.
