OpenSolaris was created on 2008-05-05.
OpenSolaris for System z was created on 2008-10-07.
OpenSolaris was created by Sun Microsystems. It is an open source computer operating system. However, when Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle, the new company discontinued it and replaced it with the proprietary Solaris Express.
OpenSolaris is used when discussing automobiles and the different features built into and designed for certain types of technology. OpenSolaris is cutting edge in the automotive industry.
Sun Microsystems has been known to ship free copies of OpenSolaris.
Solaris is a licensed product; you cannot download it for free. However, a free version, OpenSolaris, can be downloaded.
For out of the box support for multimedia, your best option is PC-BSD 7.1 or higher. It has multimedia codecs built in and media players that will handle any format.The second choice would be OpenSolaris. You can buy the codecs from Fluendo and have them install automatically.Playback on both PC-BSD and OpenSolaris with a Nvidia video card is very high quality. ATI cards are less well supported but the open source drivers works well for video playback. There is just less eye candy.
there is an open-source project based on a heavily modified and specialized Unix code-base, this is called OpenSolaris from Sun Microsystems but this was discontinued when Oracle acquired Sunhowever the open-source efforts has continued with an OpenSolaris fork called OpenIndiana and similar distributions based on the illumos kernel which remains theonly available open-source descendant of the UNIX System V, Release 4 (SVR4) code base developed by Sun and AT&T in the late 1980s..OpenSolaris was developed as a combination of several software consolidations that were open-sourced subsequent to Solaris 10, and was meant to be the community-driven effort to provide the future code-base of Solaris 10 onwards..
Nexenta (and any other system built on the OpenSolaris kernel) currently has very poor device support. Outside of Ethernet cards, you stand a pretty poor chance of having supported hardware. This will hopefully improve in time.
There are many open-source operating systems.

Windows XP is a proprietary operating system from Microsoft while Solaris is a highly scalable UNIX operating system from Sun Microsystems. Solaris runs on SPARC-based and x86-based hardware. Although Solaris was originally developed as proprietary software most of it is now open source and can be downloaded for free.
Currently, The Open Group owns the "Unix" trademark. No, Unix branded operating systems are proprietary and copyrighted. They are not free or open systems software. From its start until 1993, Unix distributions included all their source code. Programmers have made many free and open Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonfly BSD, Mach, OpenSolaris, etc.
Yes. ISO images for free software operating systems like Linux, FreeBSD, ReactOS, or OpenSolaris are usually legal. However, on the off chance that it contains material that is not legally redistributable, such as unlicensed music or video, then that particular image would not be legal. In some areas, software like libdvdcss is also illegal, meaning if it is not legal in your country, then you should not download that ISO image.
