Dinesh, re: Also note remarks like It wasn't clear which applications would be moved to Linux, and many customers aren't convinced yet that clustering even works Not terribly positive, is it? Those are the writers words, not Larry's. re: Sorry, I'm not very fanatic about Linux. When it happens, well, I'll adapt. FWIW I'm not fanatic about Solaris either. It's happening now, 12 months ago we had zero Linux machines in the server room. Now we have nearly a thousand and the main question I get is when will tool xyz be ready for Linux. re: Yet, as of today, if you were looking for a big iron SMP Unix, Linux probably won't cut mustard How many processors is "big iron"? re: In some areas, Linux sure beats the crap out of Solaris. In those that it doesn't it seems Sun will be able to fix if they release their own version of Linux.
