In general, this release is noticeably better.

Some key differences for me:

* installer is less "flaky"; there were several bizarre failures that
others filed bugs on that I didn't hit this time (and I did last
time).

* Less errors in dmesg output

* My Belkin Atheros-based PCMCIA card worked "out of the box" on my
Dell Inspiron 5150. I was prompted for a wireless network, selected my
own, entered the wpa key, and it just worked. Wow. I've had to fiddle
with it everytime I booted under all previous releases / incarnations
of OpenSolaris.

* Icons and theme are greatly improved

* The improvements to pkg search, list, etc. are extremely helpful.

* The graphical package manager is a great start.

* Being able to install openoffice, etc. right away was nice.

* Install process only took 11 minutes on my Intel Core 2 Duo E6600!
