Solaris Express delivers the latest development snapshot of Solaris 10;
it is not the same as Solaris 10 simply because Solaris 10 has not
yet been released nor has it been finished yet.

Every two weeks all groups within Sun contributing to Solaris deliver
their latest bits; the Solaris express program selects the best bits[1]
of those biweekly builds and releases one each month.

The current Solaris Express release already contain a number of
the new features (zones, dtrace, privileges) but misses out on
Solaris 10 features yet to be integrated (notably ZFS).

been released before.
