Joe User is probably not going to care. Very rarely (these days) does the kernel matter much to the user. ZFS and DTrace are good examples of something a user *might* care about, on the OpenSolaris side (if he likes to tinker). Or on the Linux side maybe you want Samba in the Kernel. There are a few other things.
I personally love OpenSolaris, and the idea of OpenSolaris. I am a long time Sun Solaris administrator and enjoyed working with the OS. I think that open sourcing the OS has brought new life, and a new future to it.
