It's easy to overlook IBM's announcement that its Lotus Notes and Lotus Symphony suites will run on Ubuntu. I think this would be a mistake. IBM is not a dumb company. It's not in the habit of wasting resources. For IBM to be partnering up with Ubuntu says something about the enterprise mindset on Ubuntu.

The bottom line?

Ubuntu is ready for prime time enterprise adoption when IBM says it is. It's saying that now.

I have a feeling that 2008 may be the breakthrough year for Ubuntu.
