It sure would be great if "Sun Employees" with "popular computers" (not 
homebrewed or
numerous add-ons) could group together into dozen person teams and form a 
"Review /
Test / Approval Group" that would ensure that SXCE / OpenSolaris / Solaris was 
90%
compatible with a few dozen major Desktop / Laptop / Blade / Big-Hardware 
computers.

There are many (nearly all?) computers that have a Sticker (Certified for WinXP 
/ Vista).

While I don't require that you print a Sticker, or approach Manufactures and 
get them to apply
said Sticker to their computers, you should at least be able to say that 
"Solaris will run on XYZ
Brand Computer with satisfactory results". 

Look how well Windows or Linux works "Out-Of-The-Box".
