Improved answerHey! that's going to confuse the asker! Solaris is an operating system as well, and that was what the asker was asking. :( Solaris is a Unix variant from Sun Microsystems. It runs on their proprietary SparcStations with their SPARC processors as well as typical AMD/Intel processors.Solaris is for engineering, programming, graphics/CAD, server applications, and many more advanced computing tasks.
-- Improved Ans
These days Solaris has pretty much the same features as other operating systems. Recently it was released to other chipsets besides SPARC chips as well. Solaris is designed as a rock solid Operating System that is very scalable and stable. This, of course, is what most other vendors of Unix will also say ...

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.
Windows, Solaris, Linux, & Apple OSX...
Windows, Linux, Mac OSX are currently the three most popular computer operating systems. Other operating systems are Solaris, BeOS, Google Chromium os, and many more.
I know that the NASA use Sun Solaris, RedHat and OS X Operating system.big ones

There are a number of free operating systems for personal computers. They include Linux, NetBSD, GNU, Open Solaris, Darwin, Free DOS, AROS, eCOS and Haiku.
Many operating systems are used on servers, including Linux, Windows Server, Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X Server.
Several operating systems are capable of functioning in a distributed manner, including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X.
the operating system provides connectivity between software and the hardware. the examples of operating systems are windows,linux,machintosh,solaris
The base part of the two systems are the same. Solaris is a Unix system from Oracle (Sun Microsystems) AIX is a Unix system from IBM. They also run on different hardware chipsets.
Microsoft-based operating systems such as Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 starting to come out now are the most popular. After that, other operating systems include Macintosh OSX, variations of unix, including Linux, and depending on the application, mainframe operating systems such as OS/400 and Solaris.--Greg
