Internally they aren't too different. On the outside, both are proprietary versions of Unix from different vendors. Solaris is from Sun Microsystems and runs primarily on their CPU chipset the SPARC processor, although recent versions of Solaris will run on Intel or AMD chips as well.
HP-UX is from HP, and runs on their chipset of the PA-RISC processor or the Itanium. Recently it was ported to Intel chips as well.
From a user's perspective, and even a developer's perspective they are very similar.
The syntax is the only difference. Both accomplish the same thing and if you compare the man pages of these commands, you will see that they are effectively the same text. useradd is the 'standard' UNIX command for adding users, present on solaris, HPUX, etc. mkuser follows aix specific syntax that uses name,value pairs to define the attributes.
Solaris is a Unix system.
For one, they are programs produced by two different companies.
Both Solaris and FreeBSD share a common idea base. The BSD distribution from Berkeley was the starting point for FreeBSD and for SunOS, which is the earlier version of Solaris. As it stands, FreeBSD was developed primarily for the Intel-based chip, whereas Solaris runs primarily on the SPARC chip developed by Sun Microsystems (now part of Oracle). Lastly, Solaris is a proprietary, cost-based version of Unix, whereas FreeBSD is an open-source version.
Linux is the leading operating system and has far more users than Solaris.
None. Solaris is produced by Sun Microsystems. IBM is a separate company that produces some products in competition with Sun.
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.

Solaris 10.
The most recent version of HPUX I used was HPUX 11i v3, also known as HPUX 11.31. However, I cannot provide information on any newer releases or editions that may have occurred since then. It is recommended to visit the official website or consult with HP representatives for the most up-to-date details on the HPUX operating system.
Linux is generally easier to install today. I experienced considerable difficulty in my last attempted install of Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 150.
