OpenSolaris 2009.06 was originally released of build 117, and the build 122 that i run is a part of the upcoming release 2010.02, see:
OpenSolaris 2009.06 was easy to install. Reboot and you will see the familiar desktop of
Gnome, a little polished by Sun. I run the latest Gnome release 2.26.3

Nautilus 2.26.3 is the file manager in the upgrade build snv 122 (original version of 2009.06 is 2.24.2).

The cube by
Compiz is of course a part of OpenSolaris.

Write around the corner...

The ring switcher is one of many functions possible via Compiz.

Many graphics cards are now supported out of the box, e.g. my
Nvidia card was found and correct drivers automatically installed, without tweaking for the right package in the repositories.
Songbird is a great player for playing internet radio...

...and
SHOUTcast is integrated.
Songbird is in my opinion actually a better solution for playing internet radio than what
BMPx is.
Spotify plays well in
OpenSolaris under
WINE.

Elisa Media Center is an option for playing different kinds of multimedia.

It just works after install. It was quite the contrary that I never got Elisa working fully functional in any linux distribution.

For the office management you can choose between
Adobe reader or
Evince, the whole
OpenOffice suite, choose
Serena OpenProj or
Planner for your project management.

If you for instance want to install
GIMP, you can do it with the Package manager. Choose the package SUNWgnome-img-editor and click Install/Update, or you can type in the terminal:
pfexec pkg install SUNWgnome-img-editoras non-root, or as root:
pkg install SUNWgnome-img-editor

I bought
Writer's Café, which is an excellent
fiction writers program, available for Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris/OpenSolaris.

You can
download a demo of Writer's Café for free. The demo is restricted to 20 cards and 20 scraps, and does not display the
Fiction: The Facts e-book.

The network configures automatically, and wireless networks is easily found.
