Jenson claims this is absolutely not the case;-)

But that is what it says in their own press release. They charged their equipment upgrade to Linux in their impairment related charges. Moving your computer equipment to Linux (or from Windows 2000 to Windows XP for that matter) is part of day to day operations and not an impairment charge in any sensible meaning of the word (not than sensible and GAAP have anything to do with each other)....

I should point out that it is not uncommon to bury all bad things in a restructuring charge....
