Some informal internal testing that was done suggested that the T2000 boxes performed well when users were running only one application in a CAM style set up - a Citrix client or rdesktop for example. Performance for a full desktop wasn't so good, indicating that UIV or Opteron was a better choice of server when offering a Solaris desktop.
Hopefully we'll have some more official news on this soon! I certainly want to know as much as everyone else out there.
