Have you ever seen a manufacturer not putting his product at the top? When Microsoft folks make case studies about Linux+Windows, they come to the conclusion that Windows is better. When Linux folks make case studies about Linux+Windows, they come to the conclusion that Linux is better. Accordingly, a random benchmark picked from the web (http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/) shows Solaris at the top. And it's not surprisingly in general that a lot of manufacturers from any industry claim they're world-leading in fact they are clearly competing at the same level with a dozen other ones.
