I dont think its at all clear that OpenSolaris (or Solaris for that matter!)

Time to jump ship to Ubuntu?
It's been made *very* clear that Oracle will continue with Solaris and
OpenSolaris. Go read the *actual* documents (and remember, Oracle often
says "Solaris" and means "Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris"), not the poor
interpretations that pass as "fact" floating around here. Oracle has
been very explicit that they're continuing to develop
Solaris/OpenSolaris for both x64 and SPARC.
The bigger question is whether you will be able to buy Solaris support
for anything other than Sun-brand hardware. That's an unknown for the
bigger picture.
I would also heartily recommend *against* Ubuntu as a replacement Linux
server OS. RHEL, SLES, or possibly Debian, but Ubuntu is doing all the
wrong things to take them seriously as a Server OS.
