If Sun gets very serious about Solaris 10 on x86 and the Open Solaris project that it hopes will nourish it, Linux vendors had better get very worried. That's because, in the many areas where Linux is miles ahead of Solaris, Sun stands a good chance of catching up quickly if it has the will, whereas in the many areas where Solaris is miles ahead, the Linux community will be hard pressed to narrow the gap.

"With the HURD, however, the FSF would sue companies left right and center for binary drivers since they own the copyrights, which is one reason HURD will never be big on the desktop."
I'm not sure what binary drivers has to do with copyright ownership. The GPL states you can do whatever you want, and the driver development model is not fully established. It's not illegal to make a binary driver. It's what you do with it that can be a problem.
