This article (from the same guy who wrote the glowing pro-Sun Rock Processor Transactional Memory article I posted in another discuss thread) is one of the best antidotes I have yet read to Steven J Vaughan Nichols's retarded anti-Solaris Computer World article. Instead of countering Vaughn's insanity with well thought out rational arguments like Ben Rockwood does, this just makes a humorous mockery of it (focuses more on MySQL and Oracle's previous success or lack thereof with Linux, but still a very entertaining read).
Be warned, if you are easily offended by grownup language (or by what 13 year old teenagers consider to be grownup language) then you might not enjoy it as much as I do. Here's page 1: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/27/dziuba_sunacle/ and here's page 2: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/27/dziuba_sunacle/page2.html There's some great quotable quotes in there. My favorite is the one on page 2 where he says: "With the attention span of a fruit fly, your average web programmer is quick to latch on to new technologies. After all, as a web developer, you can't appear publicly to be older than thirty."
