Most of the areas where Solaris is used cost is not the primary driver. 
It is reliability

Huh?  What about Sun's OpenSolaris project then?

http://opensolaris.org/os/

It states "The OpenSolaris project is an open source community and a place 
for collaboration and conversation around OpenSolaris technology."
