Agreed. I would choose OpenSolaris and run Solaris 10 in a VirtualBox VM
for those times you need to check out the differences.

What are the differences? Solaris is a proprietary software, so what
limitations does a free version have?
I don't want to use it as the main OS, I will keep Windows XP..
It is required in many job ads when I am looking at the job sites,...
so I would like to get the experience with it.
I have a regular PC, i386 ...
Opensolaris is more current, up to date, a bit cooler.
Solaris is more thoroughly tested, locked down, unchanging.
Opensolaris is generally better, unless there's a specific need for solaris.
If you're considering learning for the sake of job postings ... Learn
opensolaris, and tinker with solaris so you are aware of the largest
differences.
