Right. Fully agree. People make choices and comparison is required to be
able to make it.
My comment was more towards OpenSolaris vs Linux happening most of the times
than any other comparison - OpenSolaris vs MacOS or OpenSolaris vs FreeBSD
or surprisingly even OpenSolaris vs Windows !

When I said "broaden the theme but keep the comparison" my comment was to
include other platforms in the comparison.

Sanjeev's posted article was at the back of my mind :-)

In competition comparison, if the title gives away how the presentation is
likely to unfold, there is a danger of loosing half the audience at the
title page, however objective the presentation may be :-)

If it is about BrandZ it is different thing altogether, I find *Developing
Linux applications on OpenSolaris* extremely interesting.
