A new update of Solaris 10 has been made available today. There are a lot of ZFS enhancements and the next-gen file system is now supported as an installable root file system. You can download it for x86 and SPARC here. Other than that there are new drivers, security enhacements, etc. Fore more information, check the what's new page.

ZFS = love

now boots from a ZFS boot partition, very nice. I love how Solaris is shaping up. now if only sun would push a more agressive marketing campain for their OS outside of the server world that would be great for further adoption.

Seems not to be in the mainline opensolaris codebase yet, so, for "production" solaris, the answer is no for now, maybe yes later.
