Correct.

You're looking at the thing from the "bleeding edge" point of view. By January 
2007, the biggest players / Solaris users (read: financial institutions and 
automotive industry) will only have started to implement Solaris 10 as PILOT 
projects. With a few notable exceptions, these guys have just started looking 
at migrating from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10!
I'm telling you from first hand experience, there's no way any of these big 
players will be going directly to Solaris 11. Most of them don't even have a 
clue what it is that makes Solaris 11 such a big deal. It's just too scary for 
large organizations, especially when they've already invested millions of EUR / 
CHF / USD for migrating or preparing to migrate to Solaris 10.
