Hi David, My commercial clients run only the "official" Sun releases. That is stuff you get on a CD / DVD and can buy from Sun. Just like, say RHEL 4.0. Personally I've been running the Solaris Express and Solaris Express Community Release code for quite a while on my home systems, updating them every few weeks, and find those releases to be excellent and stable. No patches to those releases are well, released though. You have to wait for the next iteration (or longer of course) for bugs to be fixed.
As to features, typically the Express releases are a proper superset of the official releases. Patch management, package management et al are the same unless Sun is making a change to that feature (as they have in patch management). Hope this helps.
