I don't think so. Linux on the desktop certainly is not crap. It certainly has enough features for a business desktop. And at the moment it is more mature than Solaris on the desktop. Just try out Ubuntu for a change. Under the hood Solaris has many more advanced features. But that's really not important on a desktop system. There you'll have ext3 instead of zfs - well, who really cares? It runs a stable Linux distribution and it just works. And that's what really matters for these people.
