Oracle continues to work with OEM's such as IBM, Dell, & HP that ship a much
wider range of hardware than Oracle does; as well as with companies like Intel,
AMD, & Nvidia which develop the components used in those systems; in order to
ensure Solaris works on their systems as well.

Nope.   There's always been and will always be issues with certain systems,
given the wide range of components and fast pace of change in the PC hardware
space.
