We have > 600 Solaris boxes and > 200 linux boxes on the site I work in.
We are running < 25% Solaris 8, ~ 40% Solaris 9 and the rest on Solaris 10. This is an R&D office but the Solaris 10 system will be released in Q1 of next year.
In stepping from Solaris 9 to 10, the changes are vastly greater than those in going from 8 to 9. Solaris 9 could in many ways be looked at as being a facelift version of Solaris 8 or even 7. So I'd have to agree with Carl, 8 or 9 amounts to the same really, but 10 is quite different in some areas.
