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.

Are you if Solaris is only as usable as 1996 Linux, if so, why should "the people" bother with it?
We have friendly desktop OSes nowadays, so there's really no need for common desktop users to waste time mining the web looking for arcane instructions on how to do basic stuff like that. With modern OSes, it takes a few seconds to configure these things, and no instructions are actually needed - it's all totally discoverable out of the box.
