I agree that this article is being blown out of proportion. I think Sun is merely positioning themselves so their sales staff has ammo to promote Sun solutions. This FUD could be used to promote Sun Hardware running Solaris or Linux--"Our hardware can run Linux natively, not on top of a VM".
I'd just like to add that, having worked for several years in a strongly IBM Midrange-oriented shop, my observation of IBM's technical goals is that they seem to put a greater emphasis on stability than on performance. I suspect that their Linux solution is quite solid, but a little slow. That about describes every IBM Solution I've ever used.
