Do not forget that there are only relatively few drivers for (Open)Solaris. This is crucial for a satisfying desktop experience.
Solaris (Open Solaris or not) is an excellent server OS. It's not designed for interactive desktop use, though. (Ex: the conservative emphasis on not caching disk writes so as to eliminate any necessity for data recovery that might not suceed, for example.)
I'm not saying Solaris will not be proposed for the desktop, though it is not a great choice for that. One of the BSDs or a Linux distro would be a better choice as all of the same apps will work and these systems are more tuned by default to work as both servers and client systems.
