My personal view is that Solaris is now, like Oracle's database products, officially irrelevant to the future. While they will continue to be purchased for large sums of money by people who must, like COBOL, they will not shape anyone's idea of the future. ZFS had a huge impact on file system development, but I suspect no such future innovation is in store for Solaris.
