Solaris shops are going to find Zones useful. Linux shops are going to find Xen useful. However, I severely doubt that Zones are going to attract any Linux shops, or that Xen will be enough to make Solaris shops convert.
Xen's bigges strength really is in the colocation business. With VX-enabled machines, it is capable of running instrumented OS's (Linux, Free/NetBSD) at almost native speeds, and non-instrumented OS's (Windows, Solaris) with a couple-% hit. It's that flexibility that leads to colo as the market where Xen shines. If it really were an OS-specific issue, then "Linux shops" might as well use UML.
