A new study on the major players in the Unix server market has declared IBM the clear customer favorite and brought to light some serious issues with Sun Microsystems' product line. Most alarmingly for Sun, the company appears to have lost its cachet as the dominant Unix player and done so while alienating customers. Sun finished last in almost every one of the Gabriel Consulting Group survey's categories, spanning technology performance, customer satisfaction and software tools.

Sun have the most major features in the world of Unixes with dtrace, smf, zfs and now brandz zones. Have UltraSPARC opensource CPU, Solaris platform, JAVA... a lots of bussiness software... Either Linux or FreeBSD or AIX or HP-UX DON'T have (yet) this technologies. And the same bussiness model: opensource, not viral-GPL, but with OSI-aproved license.
And now IBM? IBM has Domino and PPC.. This is nothing (XBOX 360, Apple for a few time..) Nothing more than this.
Perhaps ¿Rex? Sorry for the irony :o)
