You are right. This is the reason why I supplied the link. Anyway, If IBM is not going to buy Sun, may be they'll just host them... Sun trued to enjoy the mainframe downsizing and they get upsized.

It was the folks at Sine Nomine Associates who did the demo of a prototype or beta version of OpenSolaris, running as a guest under z/VM. They did all of the porting work themselves, without any assistance or support from IBM, as I understand it. I seem to recall, but I may be incorrect on this point, that their port of OpenSolaris will only run as a guest of z/VM, and not on the bare metal in an LPAR.
