It is interesting. I don't think that fruit really qualifies, even though it has fructose in it - there are other sugars in there (plus fiber and such), so it has a different effect on the body than consuming straight fructose in drink form.
The other issue with the study is that it was conducted with lean, healthy individuals. No one knows what the effect of fructose is on overweight individuals, but it wouldn't surprise me if overweight people moved fructose to fat faster, as studies have shown that they do process foods differently.
It just shows how little we really know about obesity and its causes.
