" Realize that Sun's "scalability" isn't so much from running the antiquated, bloated pig, 1988, SVR4-like Solaris.. but it comes from the HW architecture."
You, too, are incorrect. The Solaris of today is not a "antiquated, bloated pig, 1988, SVR4-like Solaris" but a rather highly tuned kernel with fine-grained threading and scheduling. The reason machines like the Sun Fire 15K can scale to 100+ CPUs so well is due to Solaris' ability to keep all the CPUs scheduled, given there are sufficient threads to divvy up.
