Look at Sun's OS markets. The biggie is Sparc. Their only real competition there is with themselves (Solaris vs. SunOS). (No offense to SparcLinux, but it will be a long time before it makes Sun grab their wallet :) Their other market is the x86 PC/Unix market. In this market Linux is the competition.
