This would become <a href="/wiki/System_V_Release_4" class="mw-redirect" title="System V Release 4">System V Release 4</a> (SVR4).<sup id="cite_ref-Salus_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Salus-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On September 4, 1991, Sun announced that its next major OS release would switch from its BSD-derived source base to one based on SVR4. Although the internal designation of this release would be <i>SunOS 5</i>, from this point Sun began using the marketing name <i><a href="/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)" class="mw-redirect" title="Solaris (operating system)">Solaris</a></i>. The justification for this new "overbrand" was that it encompassed not only SunOS, but also the <a href="/wiki/OpenWindows" title="OpenWindows">OpenWindows</a> desktop environment and <a href="/wiki/Open_Network_Computing" class="mw-redirect" title="Open Network Computing">Open Network Computing</a> (ONC) functionality. </p><p>Even though the new SVR4-based OS was not expected to ship in volume until the following year, Sun immediately began using the new <i>Solaris</i> name to refer to the currently shipping SunOS 4 release (also including OpenWindows). Thus SunOS 4.1.1 was rebranded <i>Solaris 1.0</i>; SunOS 5.0 would be considered a part of Solaris 2.0. SunOS 4.1.<i>x</i> micro versions continued to be released through 1994, and each of these was also given a <i>Solaris 1.</i>x equivalent name. In practice, these were often still referred to by customers and even Sun personnel by their SunOS release names. Matching the version numbers was not straightforward: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption><b>SunOS 4.1.<i>x</i> / Solaris 1.<i>x</i> / OpenWindows releases</b> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>SunOS Version</th> <th>Solaris version</th> <th>OpenWindows version </th></tr> <tr> <td>4.1.1<br />4.1.1B<br />4.1.1.1</td> <td>1.0</td> <td>2.0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4.1.2</td> <td>1.0.1</td> <td>2.0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4.1.3</td> <td>1.1 SMCC Version A</td> <td>3.0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4.1.3C</td> <td>1.1C</td> <td>3.0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4.1.3_U1</td> <td>1.1.1</td> <td>3.0_U1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>4.1.3_U1B</td> <td>1.1.1B</td> <td>3.0_U1B </td></tr> <tr> <td>4.1.4</td> <td>1.1.2</td> <td>3.0_414 </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Today, SunOS 5 is universally known as <i>Solaris</i>, although the <i>SunOS</i> name is still visible within the OS itself –  in the startup banner, the output of the <a href="/wiki/Uname" title="Uname">uname</a> command, and <a href="/wiki/Man_page" title="Man page">man page</a> footers, among other places. </p><p>Matching a SunOS 5.x release to its corresponding Solaris marketing name is simple: each Solaris release name includes its corresponding SunOS 5 minor version number. For example, Solaris 2.4 incorporated SunOS 5.4. There is one small twist: after Solaris 2.6, the "2." was dropped from the Solaris name and the SunOS minor number appears by itself. The latest Solaris release is named <i>Solaris 11</i> and incorporates SunOS 5.11. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="User_interface">User interface</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SunOS&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: User interface"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Beginning with SunOS 1.0, the Sun Window System provided a <a href="/wiki/Graphical_user_interface" title="Graphical user interface">GUI</a> called Suntools,<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> layered on top of lower-level windowing and bitmap libraries;<sup id="cite_ref-sunws_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sunws-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> this was renamed <a href="/wiki/SunView" title="SunView">SunView</a> in SunOS 3.0.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Sun then developed a novel window system called <a href="/wiki/NeWS" title="NeWS">NeWS</a> that used and extended the <a href="/wiki/PostScript" title="PostScript">PostScript</a> language and graphics model.
