There is a huge difference practically - OpenSolaris has no free security

running /dev in production.
If OpenSolaris was to do that, then it would be called Solaris. :-)
It seems that Solaris 10 offers free security and critical updates.
Of course the desktop application software is quite old and OS
features lag behind OpenSolaris.
Sun needs to find a way to improve its profit margins and retain its
valuable employees, and the way it does that is by selling service
contracts. The base service contract for Solaris 10 is not terribly
expensive, although it mostly just offers full access to patches and
the Sunsolve site.
