"Sun’s Solaris operating system is better on x86 servers than Linux"
This isn't my opinion (well, it is, but this time it's not me saying it), it's the opinion of of 75 U.S. and 25 European chief information officers. It's taken from an interesting article in Forbes and is based on a report from Merrill Lynch. See for yourself here.

When you combine this with the Gartner Dataquest's recent market share numbers, this starts to look like it's a bit of a trend.

..."this starts to look like it‘s a bit of a trend." I sincerely hope so. I've recently had some fantasically positive experiences with developing software on Solaris (libumem and mdb are my friends!), and this is one platform that deserves to go all the way. Worth mentioning: the good experiences were on the x86 build, and helped me to diagnose serious problems in another vendors closed operating system!

That's exactly who I expect to know what runs better on what hardware...the CIO's :)
