IBM isn't a Linux company.

Trying to re-frame the debate here? any company which offers anything other than Linux cant be counted? why count Sun they sell everything from Office Suites, to Directory Servers, to Operating Systems (including Linux and Unix), to hardware, to Support.. sound a bit like IBM now?

I was only pointing out IBM's *Linux server sales* not any other aspect of their business your statement implied that there is not a Billion in revenue selling Linux servers out there when clearly that is incorrect. You could have said, well gee I did not think of IBM, still 2 Billion is less than SUN and you would have been right without looking like a weasel..

I was simply showing how miniscule these Linux companies are when compared to Sun, since the article infers they will lead to their downfall, when in reality Sun could buy any of them with the stroke of the pen. If all you can do in response is call names, maybe you're better suited on one if the typical Linux sites than this one.
