What is the different between this version which
differenciate so much,for example
We have 2.4,2.5 and then with Solaris 7 and 9.

There really isn't TOO much of a difference. With the new naming scheme, Sun wants to differentiate that it now considers their OS the premier "datacenter" and "Web" OS. Hence, their web based install (webstart) and their "we're the '.' in '.com'"commercials. This is to move away from their old "OS for scientists and geeks" image. With it they are also pushing their foray deep into the "open" OS field.
As far as what has actuall changed?:
live upgrade, automatic dynamic reconfiguration, hot relief, hot diagnostics, dynamic system domains, IP network failover and balancing, UNIX file system logging, and remote console.

In a nutshell: It's marketing.
