This is a problem because I'm a Windows guy. My desktops are Windows. My

about it. I don't know how to secure it. I don't know how to patch it. I
don't have confidence that I know how to do it "right."

The authors' own comments as to his lack of experience and skills alone

of my own skills and experience with SunRay devices.
Yep.
No. His comments reflect the current situation in about 90% of potential
customer base Sun Ray could have, but will not, simply because of that.
What Sun Ray/Sun VDI needs is a Unified Storage kind of appliance, which
hides the Solaris part of the equation and JUST WORKS.
Whether you like it or not, the Solaris requirement is a BIG MINUS when
compared to solutions running on top of Windows.
It sounds like you think Sun Ray is intended to to join the ranks of
cheap RDP-in-a-box thin clients in the Windows world. From what I've
seen, the Windows support for Sun Ray was sorta stapled onto the side
after the product was established. And rightfully so...the world
doesn't need another way to get cheap Windows desktops. Sun Ray's
strengths lie elsewhere.
Further, to your statement of "the Solaris requirement", it runs
great under Linux.
This is not a Windows product...thank heaven.
