Solaris vi does have some non-standard extensions, such as a tag stack. Some of them are undocumented. The O'Reilly vi book (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/vi6/index.html) has a nice comparison and a description of the Solaris-specific features.

There is nothing Solaris-specific that I know of, and that's comparing it to the vi from FreeBSD as well. You are correct about Linux; the distros/versions I've looked at all linked the vi command to vim. It was actually a source of frustration to me, as vim does not behave like vi.
