1) Intro:

I have installed the released version 2008.5, on my Lenovo AMD-64 x 2. GNOME Desktop.
Comparing to the Express edition and 1/2008, it works a little bit differently.

It seems to me that I am back to the old days of Solaris (aka 2.x).

Presumably, I can understand that this release takes a logical step towards blending new features and existing Solaris based ones. The opensolaris is meant for enterprise usage as well as standalone at home (a la Linux Desktop).
With 2008.5, I can’t use the printer and internet access without explicitly setting them up.
