We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

There are a number of things the ponytailed one says that don't make complete sense. Some of them are just fact-impaired market-isms, but one really gets to me.
He said that OpenSolaris won't impace the growth of BSD and Linux, as they aren't competitors.
But then he says the threat to Sun comes from Red Hat and Microsoft. Correct me if I'm wrong but Red Hat is one of the larger commercial Linux businesses, so if Linux continues to grow so might Red Hat. I guess he likes BSD and Linux fine, as long as they stay hobby or research projects.
And if Microsoft is such a threat, why did Sun make a huge settlement and partnership deal with them?
