I have read about software features being backported back to Solaris 10/11.

That's what I wanted to hear. :-)

That's quite differing from Linux where some server hardware manufacturers only

hardware needs binary drivers which only work with - Enterprise Editions. 

Thanks for your clear answer.

(Now please don't start a flame about Linux vs. Solaris binary compatibility)

Thanks as well! :-)

P.S. Hope OpenSolaris gonna be at next OpenExpo in Berne?
