After 10 years of supporting Linux, IBM continues to challenge Microsoft on multiple fronts and aims to push Linux even further into the enterprise. While IBM has competed and partnered with Microsoft over the last two decades, the Microsoft-free PC effort is perhaps its most direct assault yet. "The idea of Microsoft-free personal computing has been in the air for a while," Inna Kuznetsova, director of Linux at IBM, told InternetNews.com. "We're just partnering with Linux distribution vendors and hardware vendors to make it happen."

Actually, IMO, this is the possible way.
Somebody will produce *IMPORTANT* application for some distro (e.g. Ubuntu), but only for that specific distro.
Such application will become compatibility etalon. All other distros will need to support it, which in fact is relatively very easy. And problem is solved.
In fact, I believe and hope something like this will happen really soon...
