According to that, Sun's offer is much better than Linux.

Where did the article say that? It seems to me it noted both strong and weak points (like the HW problems) compared to Linux. The writer concludes with:

We've had fun with Solaris 10. It's got virtues that we definitely admire. What it needs to compete with Linux will be easier to bring about than what it's already got. It could become a Linux killer, or at least a serious competitor on Linux's turf. The only question is whether Sun has the will to see it through.

I'm not worried. Competition is good (if it is fair). Besides, note the last sentence. Large companies like Sun are known for their talent for turning gold into lead (remember Java).
