Sun Press Release (http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2007-09/sunflash.20070912.1.xml)

Just found that on Ars, appears to be legit given the press release. Thoughts?

Money. Sun would rather sell machines with their own OS, but some customers prefer Windows Server and why should Sun avoid that market altogether when there's money to be made there?

It's a bit (but not quite) like Apple selling computers on which you can install Windows. If the customers want it, there's no point in not offering it.

Sun and Microsoft might be competitors, but this deal should have a negligible effect on the market shares of the two operating systems.
