"What the article does not cover is hardware, Dell/Linux is a much cheaper alternitave to Sun/Solaris. For this reason Linux is going to erode at Suns market share from the bottom up."
That's completely false. Since Solaris can also run on the identical Dell X86 systems you seem to be touting, hardware is a wash. And with the various system administration tools available on Solaris (and not on Linux) it's arguable that the TCO of a Sun Solaris system is less than the TCO of an equivalent Linux system.
