I didn't read the article yet but at least where I work Sun has taken a 
real beating from Linux.  Moreso than Windows has anyway.

What Larry isn't telling you is that PostgreSQL is biting at Oracle's 
heels on low to midrange database servers, much like Linux was doing to 
Solaris (and Windows) 5 or 6 years ago.
