The Xsun X server (SPARC only), the CDE desktop & and SMC administration tools
are currently present in SXCE, but not OpenSolaris nor future Solaris releases.

Future Solaris releases (which may or may not be called Solaris 11) are
planned to be based on OpenSolaris, so there should be nothing OpenSolaris
supports that they will not.    OpenSolaris does support several things
that SXCE does not, mostly based around the IPS packaging system.

I don't know of any.
