Forgive me if I don't get excited. But thats for Solaris 11, for all we know, based on Larrys expectations, it will probably be tuned for Database and Servers. Oracle may well remove most desktop and laptop functionality, after all, it's not required and makes support much harder.

From http://blogs.sun.com/jimlaurent/entry/solaris_11_in_2011

Solaris 11 will be based on technologies currently available for preview in OpenSolaris <http://www.opensolaris.org> including:

   * Image packaging system
   * Crossbow network virtualization
   * ZFS de-duplication
   * CIFS file services
   * Enhanced Gnome user environment
   * Updated installer and auto network installer
   * Network Automagic configuration
   * and much more


Also, if I read in between the lines for this statement "Solaris 11 will be a superset of what is in Opensolaris", it say's to me, Oracle is not open with Opensolaris any more. There will likely be proprietary extensions added not in Opensolaris.

So? No change there.
