In a way you are right , we do have Linux which is great . I'm not so sure about BSD though , I didn't like it very much , pretty unstable for me . Still there are several things Solaris ( and Open Solaris ) has that make it even better than Linux . I once saw a bechmark where Solaris 10 even performed better than Linux in some server tests . Let's also not forget that Sun has experienced people working hard on Solaris so it doesn't depend that much on the comunity as Linux or FreeBSD do . I think Open Solaris is more about the adoption of Solaris rather than Sun needing people to work on the Solaris kernel for instance .
