Photos: IBM lifts the lid on web 2.0 tech

A behind-the-scenes peek at Big Blue's UK R&D centre

IBM has been showing off some of the tech at its research and development labs at Hursley near Winchester.

silicon.com went along to take a look at, among other things, a mash-up wiki, IBM's version of Second Life and a web 2.0 retail application.

Above is the Hursley House, the stately home in which IBM's UK R&D operations are based. The Spitfire engine was developed here by previous occupants, Vickers.

    Not the engine. The airframe and the wings.

    We're hitting the afterburners on some pretty good IBM Spitfires, to go up against the Microsoft Messerschmitts that have darkened the skies for so many years recently, though.

    OS/2 ? Who needs it. We've got Linux.
