I hear people talking about OpenSolaris, but I've never had the opportunity to try it out for myself.
What's so different between it and what I can do already in Linux. O_o

Well, for one, it is better for developers since ZFS has the ability to roll back changes. Also, it is less prone to fragmentation than Linux is since it just came on the scene recently with a package manager and stuff, so it will be easier for vendors to support.

I tend to disagree.
Novell stated in 2007, after its case vs SCO, that they will not sue over Unix rights. See this article. Some may not trust Novell after the Microsft interoperability agreement, but I personally find that to be FUD.
Solaris and OpenSolaris will be around a long time, especially as development platforms.
Side note: I don't find Windows to be "easy".

Alright guys, after installing OpenSolaris to my laptop, and playing around with it for an hour, I can say that its a very good OS for basic user functions.
I managed to get the Compiz Fusion port working, and so far it runs great with Open Office installed.
I think I'll be using this for a while
