IBM may be congratulating itself on the release of the first Red Hat-ready laptop, but according to reports, the Thinkpad 600 ain't all its cracked up to be.

Big Blue released the 600 with one small problem: no Linux software drivers for the internal modem. A company spokesman assures us that Big Blue is working on the problem and denied any suggestions the company was embarrassed by the reports.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
