Solaris is, to all intents and purposes, Sun's distro of the OpenSolaris code.
And we already have at least one release of that, Solaris 10 Update 1, with
Update 2 imminent.  (Granted, S10 FCS wasn't based on the OpenSOlaris code,
beacuse at the time, OpenSolaris disn't exist outside of a small pilot program,
of which I am proud to say I was a member.)
  
Sorry to contradict, but Solaris *Express* is Sun's distro of the OpenSolaris code.
Solaris 10 and its Updates are *not* direct distributions of OpenSolaris, but
rather are essentially backports of selected OpenSolaris code.
