With a (relatively) big advertising campaign SUN promoted Solaris 10 (also known as SunOS 5.10). Referring to SUN, with the "revolutionary" JAVADesktop 2 and a lot of new features and improvements, Solaris 10 should be the best OS today. Solaris is free for SPARC owners and for private use or evaluation purpose it's also freely available on the x86. While Solaris actually is kind of a legend, I thought "Hu, this could be an interesting alternative on my PC". Thought, went on and downloaded the ISOs. Read on to see how an average user (me) have experienced Solaris.

since sun is delayed with the open sourcing my guess is that no one is spending time drawing new backgrounds for the desktop and so on. they have more important things going on at the moment.
the desktop integration will probably be more prioritised after the release of open solaris.
right now a reviewer should probably focus on more technical aspects of solaris.
