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.

Then again rereading the post I think. You were right, Robert. The first half is anti but the second half is pro.
Anyway, Virtualization has many forms, some like VMware are already supporting Solaris (note the recent deal). Xen is actively being worked on from the Soalris guys. So yes Robert was right in pointing out an obviously ignorant post.
Been a long day ;(

Do you know what you are talking about? Have you actually used Solaris? Solaris x86 is already a "player" in virtualization with Zones and Containers, which is vastly superior to anything Linux has to offer when used together. Sun is also contributing to the development of Xen, see the discussions on www.opensolaris.org.
