Speaking of commercial support, I have been looking really closely at using Solaris 10 which includes Zones. ... But there has been so much press lately about Xen. And from what I read in Linux mag recently there is HW support that totally changes how efficient Xen can be.
Solaris shops are going to find Zones useful. Linux shops are going to find Xen useful. However, I severely doubt that Zones are going to attract any Linux shops, or that Xen will be enough to make Solaris shops convert. And the shops that are so totally Java/PHP/Perl/whatever that it doesn't matter if they're on Solaris or Linux will end up choosing whatever hosting solution costs them the least per month...
