>>>It seems obvious to me and other investors I am close to that Linux is more likely to
destroy Suns' unix based business than Msft and it's more consumer oriented
software products. Why the crowd doesn't see this is beyond me.

That's because the crowd is right!
Linux is bad for NT.
People who already use Solaris are more likely to use Linux instead of NT.
Also, shops that might have considered NT may now get Linux (for free?)
Linux does not compete with Solaris because Linux runs mainly on Intel boxes.
