I'd suggest don't bother with dual booting. It's always a mess and in the
end, pretty pointless.
You're right man.
I had dual boot for a while and then gave it up.
My main problem was a shortage of space. Since Solaris can mount NTFS
as read-only. And Windows can't mount ufs or zfs at all. Fat32 was a
compromise but then i had to split my disk into 30gb chunks which made
things very inconvenient.

I recommend you install Windows and as much solaris as you need using
VMWARE. It's free and the performance is ok with powerful enough
machine.
Then use the Windows box as a storage for both OS's files using
CIFS(aka SMB or network sharing)
Or the other way around if you want. And if you wanna make things more
complicated create files on the Windows using SMB and then use them as
devices for ZFS pools.
I've installed windows first for games.

You're on the right track, but a bit backwards. Wpe you disk clean,
install Solaris-10 or better yet Open Solaris and then install VMware
so that you can run the occasional bug ridden machine crashing XP
program. There is very little reason to be running any version of
Windows except for gaming

You seem to be on the wrong track, there is no Host support in VMware for Solaris 10 so what you suggest is not possible.

Maybe you meant Win4Solaris?
