They chose to upgrade their BSD userland instead from OPENSTEP and evolved that into Rhapsody -> MOSX It seems that maybe some large corporate players also realize that there is a benefit to mature code. I've also run across some Linux advocates who make much of Sun's promotion of UltraPenguin. Well, Sun wants to sell more hardware, so it's pretty easy to see why they jumped on the bandwagon. And it's pretty plain also that nobody from Sun is really pushing Linux to replace Solaris in the datacenter.
