Things like why people choose Solaris over Linux.

Solaris puts a lot of effort into maintaining backwards compatibility. With Linux, things as fundamental as device names change routinely and you often have to have to recompile things between versions. Centos is pretty good about this within a major release, but the long support life of those releases is an exception in the Linux world and you still find big differences between the major release versions that don't always maintain compatibility.
