Well, despite i agree with you to a certain degree don't you think you are being a little bit "unbalanced" towards IBM tech? Despite the fact that Linux does indeed lacks some things, it also provides quite a huge amount of enterprise features but for a fraction of the price of AIX.
It's like having the a real fancy sports car like a Ferrari that has all sorts of great technologies and saying that having for instance a Suburu Impreza it's a bad one, just because it doesn't have all those nice technologies. For me i think that what makes a real impact is the ability , or lack of, to choose the right tool for the right job.
