Solaris Express, Community Edition is Sun's binary release for

Developers can build the OpenSolaris source by using this release as
the base system. It is updated every other Friday.

Because it's been marketed as "OpenSolaris", so people expect to
download an installer for OpenSolaris. If you think the Register guy is
the only one to have complaints, you're wrong. The first time I went to
opensolaris.org, I wondered "where the F*** is OpenSolaris?" I know I'm
not the only one.

Steve Lau has explained this very clearly, perhaps there should be a link to his diagram on the download page...
