As LinuxWorld Expo begins this week, Microsoft and IBM are offering up migration tools and programs to gain customer and partner converts to their respective platforms.

Microsoft, Redmond, Wash., will try to encourage Unix-to-Windows migrations with its Windows Services for Unix Version 3.5 upgrade, which was formally unveiled late last week, while IBM is trying to push Windows NT-to-Unix migrations though programs for its customers and partners.
