Well, SUN sells _slow_ hardware, so I still don't see how gnome would help them --- just the opposite, people will be able to compare performance with their supermarket-bought home PCs --- and will see SUN come out second. Certainly happens here, on brandnew SunBlades (which, truth be told, are hardly more than SUN-labbeled supermarket PCs anyway, and pretty good awful ones for that).
