Without adding the version numbers, none of the above statements make
any sense at all.
Solaris 1.x contains SunOS 4.x. That is, Solaris 1.0 contains SunOS
4.1, Solaris 1.0.1 contains SunOS 4.1.1. Solaris 1.1 contains SunOS
4.1.2, Solaris 1.1.1 contains SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris 1.1.1B contains
SunOS 4.1.3_U1, and Solairs 1.1.2 contains SunOS 4.1.4.
Solaris 2.x contains SunOS 5.x. That is, Solaris 2.0 contains SunOS 5.0.
Solaris 2.1 contains SunOS 5.1. Solaris 2.2 contains SunOS 5.2. Solaris
2.3 contains SunOS 5.3. Solaris 2.4 contains SunOS 5.4.
The word 'contains' is carefully chosen. A particular rev of Solaris is
a superset, containing a version of SunOS, Openwindows, the Deskset
crap, and probably a few other things.
Just tossing out the word SunOS or Solaris has no differentiating power
at all, except that it excludes SunOS revs <4.1.
