Economies of Scale, Solaris and Linux.

I've just been reading an interesting post by Jonathan Schwartz on Economies of Scale and utilisation of data centres. I think Solaris is going to continue being an interesting player in the future (and I can't wait to see OpenSolaris) and seems to have a dynamism about them at the moment. Amongst the comments about partitioning Solaris I was reminded of some of the cool stuff you can do with user mode Linux. Solaris is definitely a rising star but Sun can't rest on their laurels if they want to out innovate Linux.
