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.

First, thanks to you for actually citing a feature rather than simply saying Solaris R0x0rs allelse sux0rs.
But, the features you cited are supported in the other Unix likes as well.
Zones specifically is very much like User Mode Linux(UML) or Xen that recently started shipping with SuSE 9.3 It is a virtualization technology and it can hardly be described as new. Taking the virtualization concept even further, the likes of Qemu, VMWare and others go so far as to allow running entirely different operating systems! Something that Zones and UML can't do.
