Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin has said it is time for Solaris to simply move out of the way and yield the future to Linux. 'The future is Linux and Microsoft Windows. It is not Unix or Solaris,' he claims, contending that Sun's strength in long-lifecycle apps is giving way to Linux, as evidenced by the rise of Web apps, where Linux holds a decided advantage, Zemlin claims. With capabilities such as ZFS and DTrace, Sun is trying to compete based on minor features, he says. 'That's literally like noticing the view from a third-story building as it burns to the ground.'

Blehh... By using offensive generalizations like that you are guilty of the very thing you are accusing others (your so-called "Linux guys) for... *sigh*
The Linux community is big and heterogenous. You can find many kind of "guys" there, from SCO to Debian, from big corporations to individual Linux users, OS hobbyists and developers. Probably majority of "Linux guys" use and value other operating systems too.
Let's all try to be balanced in our opinions, ok?
