Then I.B.M. declared that it would back Linux with investment, research and marketing, and the technology moved swiftly into the corporate mainstream. Mark Lennihan/Associated Press Samuel Palmisano, I.B.M.’s chief, sees a rising flood of data. The same thing happened with the personal computer in the early 1980s, when I.B.M. endorsed that upstart technology and entered the market.
