== Reception == *Robert Lipschutz and Gregg Harrington from ''[[PC Magazine]]'' reviewed Solaris 9 in 2002:<ref>{{cite magazine| url = https://www.pcmag.com/archive/solaris-9-not-flashy-but-solid-25318| title = Solaris 9: Not Flashy but Solid| magazine = [[PC Magazine]]| date = May 7, 2002| access-date = January 15, 2022| archive-date = January 15, 2022| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220115022004/https://www.pcmag.com/archive/solaris-9-not-flashy-but-solid-25318| url-status = live}}</ref> {{cquote|All in all, Sun has stayed the course with Solaris 9. While its more user-friendly management is welcome, that probably won't be enough to win over converts. What may is the platform's reliability, flexibility, and power.}} *Robert Lipschutz also reviewed Solaris 10:<ref>{{cite magazine| url = https://www.pcmag.com/archive/solaris-10-148842| title = Solaris 10| magazine = [[PC Magazine]]| date = March 31, 2005}}</ref> {{cquote|Be that as it may, since the Solaris 10 download is free, it behooves any IT manager to load it on an extra server and at least give it a try.}} *Tom Henderson reviewed Solaris 10 for ''[[Network World]]'':<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.networkworld.com/article/861554/lan-wan-solaris-10-heads-for-linux-territory.html| title = Solaris 10 heads for Linux territory| first = Tom| last = Henderson| website = [[Network World]]| date = February 28, 2005| access-date = April 26, 2024| archive-date = September 8, 2024| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240908005357/https://www.networkworld.com/article/861554/lan-wan-solaris-10-heads-for-linux-territory.html| url-status = live}}</ref> {{cquote|Solaris 10 provides a flexible background for securely dividing system resources, providing performance guarantees and tracking usage for these containers. Creating basic containers and populating them with user applications and resources is simple. But some cases may require quite a bit of fine-tuning.}} *Robert Escue for ''[[OSNews]]'':<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.osnews.com/story/9865 | title = Review of Solaris 10 | first = Robert | last = Escue | date = March 2, 2005 | website = [[OSNews]] | access-date = July 8, 2018 | archive-date = June 20, 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180620153256/http://www.osnews.com/story/9865 | url-status = live }}</ref> {{cquote|I think that Sun has put some really nice touches on Solaris 10 that make it a better operating system for both administrators and users. The security enhancements are a long time coming, but are worth the wait. Is Solaris 10 perfect, in a word no it is not. But for most uses, including a desktop OS I think Solaris 10 is a huge improvement over previous releases.}} *Thomas Greene for ''[[The Register]]'':<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/16/solaris_x86_not_too_shabby/ | title = Sun's Linux killer shows promise | first = Thomas C | last = Greene | date = August 16, 2005 | website = [[The Register]] | access-date = July 8, 2018 | archive-date = June 20, 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180620203731/https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/16/solaris_x86_not_too_shabby/ | url-status = live }}</ref> {{cquote|We've had fun with Solaris 10. It's got virtues that we definitely admire. What it needs to compete with Linux will be easier to bring about than what it's already got. It could become a Linux killer, or at least a serious competitor on Linux's turf. The only question is whether Sun has the will to see it through.}}
