While I very much agree with this, I think the reality should be
acknowledged that if you have to ask the question, you're best going
with the main production release... if only to get access to the larger
community of administrators of production environments.

I'd call this an improper example... Sun running SXCE on a main server
is very much "eating their own dog food", and I'd even call it critical
to Solaris' future.  When things go wrong, they have the resources at
their fingertips to make it right... not just for Sun but for everyone.
Your average user doesn't have that (again, if they had to ask...)

The fact that Sun uses Solaris Express in that way is a great vote of
confidence in the product and the developers, though... and I agree with
the other poster saying that mentioning it on the OpenSolaris main page
would be spiffy.
