No not crazy
Sun does not have the marketing resources to go toe to toe with MS. Solaris looks good when you place it on top of a 64 processor machine, not so cool when it sits on one processor. Heck, Windows runs great on a 64 processor machine so what is your point? On a single processor machine Linux runs circles around it. Solaris is a pig.
