Cheryl,
You're going to have to face the distinct possibility, John, that MD (Michael Dell) just may be telling the TRUTH.
Nothing could be scarier than that, that a business titan speaks his or her mind. And, I am not trying to act cute here. It will be scary as hell if businesspeople started speaking the truth in public. They may as well walk naked.
Doesn't Dell own some piece of Linux stuff ? Hasn't DELL.O stock been an underperformer for a while ? Don't you think he is under some kind of stress ? May be he is angling for some break here.

Different subject. I doubt if you've stress tested a Solaris. They all got bugs. Tons and tons of them. Also, as you no doubt know, Sun didn't invent Unix, TCPIP, HTTP, Sockets, any of this. Folks don't want NFS on their service machines because its buggy. It did invent a lot of marketing (Oh, yes, I have owned SUNW from time to time.)
