Hi Vishal, Let me try to answer your question. When the persons in this forum say OpenSolaris, they always refer to OpenSolarisyyyy.mm. Currently there are two releases: 2008.05 and 2008.11, which bring Solaris advanced features (ZFS, dtrace, mdb ...) to the end user with a well-known Linux-like desktop interface. SXCE, aka Nevada, is mainly for the Solaris developers. It's more like a Solaris xx operating system. There is much difference between OpenSolaris and SXCE. The most significant difference is the package management and system upgrade methods in these two distributions (which lead to different zone usage as well). I don't work for SUN, so this is NOT a government statement.
