Sun naming confusion: Is OpenSolaris an OS or a project?

,----[ Summary ]
| Over three years, the OpenSolaris project has gathered some community under 
| Sun Microsystems Inc. (SMI) guidance. The whole project resides at 
| www.opensolaris.org and is focused on the open flavor of Solaris operating 
| system, licensed under CDDL

"The collaborative, massively distributed development process behind the
Internet and Open Source projects is not your enemy. It is your friend, the
source of basic research that you can turn into your next generation of
products."

                                                --Tim O’Reilly

OpenSolaris still has some Linux copying to do

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSolaris 2008.05 packs in most of what Linux users are likely to expect -
| GNOME, easy installation, good software update tools and more - and then adds
| some extras on top. Although OpenSolaris isn't quite ready for prime time,
| when it is, it'll be a nice possible alternative to Linux.
|
| Because it ships with a number of developer-focused tools that most desktop
| users probably don't care about - the ZFS filesystem, DTrace,
| and "containers" - it may not be all that compelling for average users.
