ZFS was the sole factor in my decision to buy a Sun server with solaris this
year, to replace my netapp.  In addition, I bought some dell machines and
paid for solaris on those, to keep around as backup destinations for the
production sun file server.

I absolutely do believe ZFS is a huge selling point for sun hardware and
solaris.  Especially for file servers.
