While OpenSolaris 2008.05 is only two months old, work at Sun is already underway in preparing for the second OpenSolaris release, which will be known as OpenSolaris 2008.11 and has been codenamed Jericho.

I don't get it, why the hell pretty much all the OpenSolaris-related reviews never go deeper than the GUI? Do people really think Gnome 2.22 running on top of something other than Linux is more exciting than Solaris' own highlights? Heck, those reviews never even explain pfexec.
I find all this really weird, because there's a lot of innovation going on in the Solaris land and Solaris is drastically different from Linux or the BSDs in many aspects. Still, reviewers only write about the Gnome version being used, what apps are bundled. Like yea, that's gonna be very relevant since it'll be very different from what you can see in any Linux distro.
The deepest those writers go is writing (briefly) about the packaging system or the installer. My take is that those writers are simply ignorant. You don't need advanced skills to check software versions. They write about what they're able to write about. I guess that's good enough for some readers.
