Nope, according to Sun's Schwartz, they have not ruled out the GPL at all

Schwartz said Sun hasn't ruled out releasing Solaris under the General Public License (GPL), the license that governs Linux. That would mean that elements of Solaris could theoretically be adopted in Linux, or vice-versa, though integration of core features could prove technologically difficult.

Also, I have found that Linux has better legacy and long term device support than Windows XP.

Side note: upgrading to SP2 on one of the office laptops has hosed the HP OfficeJet 4110 USB compatibility, even after reinstalling the drivers.
