Sun seeks to apply the lessons of Linux and turn open source Solaris into an operating system to rival Linux and to be as commonly used as Java. Sun Microsystems has ambitious plans for the commercial and open-source versions of its Solaris operating system, hoping to achieve for Solaris the kind of ubiquity already enjoyed by Java. In addition, Sun released Update 4 for Solaris 10 (also called Solaris 08/07), introducing a major enhancement in its OS virtualization technology called Solaris Containers.

"Last time I checked, you weren't able to hotswap a CPU on linux."
Please check again.
Of course you can't hotswap a CPU (or memory) on most Linux systems, but that's just because the hardware itself doesn't allow it.
If this were to be a pissing contest, then Solaris would loose to the 1024-CPU SGI monsters running Linux.
