Solaris is a server *and *workstation operating system, the workstation has evolved/devolved into the desktop and laptop slowly over the past 10 years so this is not a distraction at all.
Onto the next point, being a desktop OS is a good way of gaining mind share, if a developer or administrator uses Solaris on his/her desktop have a guess which OS they will use when they deploy! I am a big believer that Microsoft's inroads into the data centre are owed somewhat to their success on the desktop.
