    IMHO it's not possible to run win apps under sparc architecture because
    the machine types are different: intels are little-endian and sparcs are
    big-endian.
    Please see the faq at www.ultralinux.org.

    But there is an emulator for solaris (better SunOS) binaries called
    solemu..
