What do you mean by advanced? Do you just mean best?
Probably a completely modular OS whereby you can add/remove bits and bobs without affecting other parts of the system, is my guess at what an advanced OS is.
Vista is apparently the most modular Windows but I'm not sure about anything else.

According to solaris.com the header is Solaris 10: The most advanced operating system on the planet.....
What's unique about Solaris in comparison to other operating systems?
Solaris 10 includes more than 600 new features, many of which are not available in any other operating system. For example, Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace), Solaris Containers, Predictive Self Healing, Solaris ZFS and Solaris Trusted Extensions deliver breakthrough enterprise functionality and are only available in the Solaris 10 Operating System. Unique among operating system vendors, Sun also protects your IT investments by guaranteeing that existing Solaris applications will run unmodified on Solaris 10.
According to apple...

Advancing the world's most advanced operating system....
They cant both be the most advanced....

Well it's subjective isn't it? Would you bother with this if they both said "Best OS"?
As touched on previously, it all depends on what defines "Advanced"
if it's raw computing power, then z/OS beats all hands down. Just make sure you have a budget of a couple million to fund the hardware for it
To me, it would be modularity. The ability to add/remove modules, even core components of the OS, without interupting all services. In this respect, Windows is firmly for the lose. ("You've just updated Adobe Flash, would you like to restart now?")
Therefore it is UNIX (and derivitives) that wins for me. I've not tried BeOS.
