Good article...

Sun is correct in that they don't need to battle Linux, they must battle the vendors and distros. Like it or not, when linux based distro start adding proprietary "pieces/parts" they become a proprietary company and will find themselves's in the traditional competitive arena where price/performance is king.

If Sun can make a deal with AMD and bring Solaris to the smaller servers at a competitive price, they will be VERY tough to beat. Ask anyone that has used it and they will tell you Solaris is an outstanding OS and no one understands network applications as well as Sun.

Should be interesting to watch...
