CDE in Solaris

I was wondering, if I boot up a Solaris box and the CDE does not come up by default when I log in, does that mean that the box has a GUI at all? If that is the case, where can I download CDE from?

I am accustomed to RedHat and Windows, so unfortunately Solaris throws me off a little bit.
