Solaris vs Linux

I will be the first to admit that I am a Solaris/Sun bigot. They make (somewhat) solid hardware, and a great, stable, fast operating system. I will also mention that IBM makes rock solid RISC hardware, which is why I deduct points for Sun hardware.

Anyways, today I ran across This article defending Solaris in response to this article. The second article is from HP’s Linux Vice-President, and he just bashes Sun all over the place, regarding Sun’s open source strategy, and Sun’s X86 strategy. The first article just tears apart the HP VPs bashing, and I think it was a very good read for the folks that still like Sun, I just had to share it.

BTW, about 5 days and counting until we have Solaris 10 FCS!
