I thought thats the reason we have core or core + networking to begin with. 
also we have JeOS with open solaris. Both of these aproaches to install solaris 
are almost bare bones.

 There are speculations that future Microsoft Windows OS, will only be a 
 kernel. And each program will be installed in an individual VM created for 
 that program. Hence, the kernel would be minimalistic and not bloated.
 
 Can not something similar be done to Solaris? For instance, small Kernel, and 
 everything installed in separate zones? This requires that Solaris Zones can 
 be very minimilastic, they read the system files from the Kernel install, and 
 write in it's own filesystem.

Given that (in the current design) all non-global zones share a single
system kernel, and VMs are definitely not in use, I don't see how moving
functionality out into non-global zones will change kernel bloat one way
or the other.  Zones avoid the overhead of traditional VMs by not being
actual VMs.

Perhaps instead of Zones, you actually mean xVM/Xen.  If so, then,
yes, that might be possible.  It's merely a matter of software (much
would have to be written to proxy operations across VMs) and performance
(just about all message-passing schemes I've seen were slower than
non-message-based equivalents).

Although possible, it's unclear to me whether any of that would be
desirable.  So, what problem is it you're solving here?

What kind of VM?  If it's something like Solaris Zones, then yes, you
could do this with Solaris.  Indeed, Solaris TX shows how to do it.

If you mean something more like VMware or VBox VMs, then Solaris Zones
are not the animal that you're looking for.
