I think you're missing the most important application for Solaris users: Oracle (the database).

The people who is going to suffer the most from Oracle killing of Solaris are largely its own database customers. I honestly doubt many Solaris customers are running an open source stack on top of it. It's the closed source applications that will be trouble some.

Oracle wants their customers on their exadata appliances which run Linux, not Solaris. They've been pushing customers that direction for years.
