I did not change the defaults on anything, I did notice that as well but did not know enough to know if that is what was causing the issue. sda1 is the windows boot partition, and sda2 (on a separate drive) is the boot partition for linux.
Generally, when installing Ultimate Edition, GRUB will look for other OS's on board and list them all on bootup to select the one you want to go into. Back when I was triple booting with Vista, Ultimate Edition 1.8 x64, & x32, GRUB was installed on (hd0,0) the default, and also picked up Vista...so when I booted up, it went straight to GRUB, and there Ultimate Edition x64, Vista, then Ultimate Edition x32 would be listed...I see you also have Solaris, and I'm not familiar with that one. It may be the order between Ultimate Edition & Solaris being installed...in other words, with Windows already installed, you might try installing Solaris, then Ultimate Edition. I'm thinking that way Ultimate Edition GRUB I know would pick up Windows, but not sure of Solaris...but if it does (Solaris), then that may resolve the problem...
