Sun Microsystems is expected to release Solaris as open-source software Tuesday, a centerpiece of the company's plan to regain lost relevance and fend of rivals Red Hat, IBM and Microsoft.

You trolls are really funny. How come you can't see that Solaris and Linux should be complimentary instead of competitive? OSS likes diversity, not the other way around. The more people who come to the party, the better (just so long as those that come to the party are there to party and not crash it).
And the more Solaris joins the OSS community, the less you will see a difference between Linux and Solaris, as each will start sharing their technology. And hopefully someday, most distro's will ship with both a Linux and a Solaris kernel. Boot in one, create VM's and run your apps in appropriate containers ran by appropriate kernels.
So listen up Solaris and Linux fanboys. Start thinking about how to get along instead of looking for ways to stroke your egos. Together we win, divided we lose. It's that simple.
