We are trying to get people to upgrade away from Solaris 8. With the kind of "push back" we're getting, you'd think we had asked them to eat a bucket of worms. The new system start up is the big thing. You can ignore zfs and dtrace, but you can't ignore the changes to system start up. Even a simple thing like disabling (or re-enabling) sendmail freaks out most folks approaching 10 for the first time. You won't be comfortable with the os until you're comfortable with this. This is the main reason that a lot of people where I work have rejected Solaris 10.

Reason number 2 is no support for static linking, but this only requires a quick sentence or two in your class.
