I don’t need to be patronized on the difference between zones and VM’s as I’m also one of those VMware users from 1999 in Brendan’s article.
Zones however are superior to VM’s because they don’t require hard pre-allocation of resources like virtual machines do, so they are a superior choice in environments where Windows isn’t desired or required.
As for my Linux hate, if Linux were so great and well made, I wouldn’t hate it. I like well made things.

In public cloud that's not a problem, that's a requirement, so one VM wouldn't trash all its neighbors.

With Linux running on ~10^11 devices, everything from watches to supercomputers to the Falcon 9 rocket, the market disagrees with you to a pretty comical extent.
You're arguing one edge of a very much double-edged sword, and I must say (as someone that was deploying the linux-vserver patches by at least 2004) it's incredibly tiring to watch.
