"Faster than virtualization, but harder to implement, containers are a promising security technology for Linux. Watch the 2.6.24 kernel for experimental support for creating and managing containers."

Yes, this is about the equivalent to Solaris' containers, but the article confuses containers and zones. OpenVZ implements _zones_ (although every guest is running the host's kernel, its userspace isn't shared with the host and can even be a different distribution). Now, you can say that containers are actually the underlying technology for zones, so in that case OpenVZ does implement containers.
