Correction: CDE is not proprietary, but was a joint development based on
a few different things. See:

Hi David.
The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) was a proprietary desktop that
Sun created. Sun has now shifted to the open source Gnome desktop. It
is very customizable, so you should be able to set it up any way that
you wish. You can add your own panels and launchers, and customize
their behavior. Features include multiple desktops among other things.
If you don't care for Gnome and want to try other desktops, I believe
there are some available from other repositories that you can download
and try. You might want to check the desktop-disc...@opensolaris.org
forum for more information.

At school I use a Solaris workstation which I check Common Desktop
Environment option when I log in. At the desktop I have a panel at
the bottom with various buttons. In the middle are four rectangle
buttons that allow me to have 4 desktops, and on each side are four
other options and each has an up arrow that has more options form a
menu. At home I have downloaded OpenSolaris but when I log in there i
have a task bar at the top and bottom of the screen. I prefer the
setup at school better is there a way to change my home machine to do
that?
