The Register has reviewed OpenSolaris, and concludes: "Sun has made good on its promise to deliver OpenSolaris, the company's Unix-based answer to Linux, with a company-supported, commercial update arriving in mid-May. Although far from a complete product, the latest OpenSolaris is impressive and in the long run could prove a viable alternative to Linux."

When you're using 30 or nearly 40 year old computing principles, there's always copying to be done. Linux, Solaris and BSD are all derivative of Unix, which began in 1969. Before we can come up with new ways to use our computers, I think we need to come up with more modern ideas for how the OS uses the hardware. Something entirely new, and made from scratch. Actually, I wonder how much now-useless code is in the Linux kernel.
