As somebody else already mentioned, I would like to see Sun & Apple get 
together. I think the 2 companies would complement each other rather 
well. Of course the other thing I would like to see, but probably 
wouldn't happen would be for them to then replace BSD with Solaris as 
the underlying OS in OSX, that would be a kick-ass OS, the stability of 
Solaris with the ease of use of OSX!
