Sun are a major player in the server industry right? Apple could be too if they bought them out. I really like how Apple is friends with the Goog too, the future could hold some good things for these three companies if they can play nice.
Absolutely!!!
This would solve Apple's main problem of being taken seriously in the industry, without having to change their consumer or pro methods of secrecy.
Sun has big 32 way models, and is a supporter of multi chip models from long ago.
In many ways, they and Apple are similar, except for their market focus.
If all three bewcame one, MS would have a very big problem on their hands. The value of the new company would rival their own. The profits would as well.
As Apple nowadays has no real problem developing for Windows, on a certain level, that wouldn't be a problem either. As long as the apps don't favor Windows, Apple would win.
An Applified Solaris for the high end server market, and a Solarisified OS X for everyone else would be just fine.
At some point, both could be codified.
I can see a time when the OS would get More Solarissy as it gets further towards the high end, and more OS X like as it moves down towards iPods, phones, and ATvs.
I know there's an argument about the kernels, and such, but there's always some way to resolve that. NEXT had a solution, something similar might still be able to work.
I never listen to programming guys who say that it "can't" be done, because they're always wrong, in my experience. Most of those guys are just line workers and don't have the vision of the great ones, who do manage to find the way to do things that they can't imagine.
Steve is telling us that Leopard is a region full of icy debris that make navigation through "spaces" difficult and that may one day destroy the earth.

I don't want Apple to be a huge directionless behemoth, the company is branching into consumer electronics, not into microelectronics and whatnot. Sun is growing slowly, the company is barely profitable after years of floundering and losses, the stock is not doing so great since the dot com bubble burst. Yuck! \
The combination of new iMacs and the upcoming release of Leopard has some analysts believing that Apple might disclose so-called "secret features" in the operating system such as the ability to run the Macintosh and Windows operating systems at the same time without having to reboot the Mac.
"This would serve as a major catalyst for Mac sales," said Shaw Wu, who covers Apple for American Technology Research. Wu believes the main reason Leopard was delayed until October was in order for Apple to give its developers more time to test out the dual operating system abilities and other features.
The cats are just analogy for pussy, which can survive in space, if it doesn't go crazy and drives across the country to murder in a diaper after the training!

I somewhat agree. The problem is, I don't believe that anyone in particular is enamored with Windows itself. If Macs could provide the ability to run Windows apps (without the windows) via a System Preference (to allow only selected applications - and avoid the viruses) and some CoreAnimation (somehow visually apologizing to the user to mix crappy-looking windows apps with Mac apps by way of a nice animation to let you know the difference) this would be, im my opinion, the ideal solution for those looking to run Mac and Windows apps.
The thing is, however, that Apple, through continuous software updates and coding seems still committed to the dual-boot philosophy - just enabled backlit keyboard and remote with Windows in BootCamp, right?

To a certain extent, that's exactly what Apple is becoming now.
This would anchor it more firmly to the computer industry again.
Sun is actually doing well. Its stock hasn't performed as well as it should. That's one of the reasons why this would be a good idea now.

Can a cat survive in space?
Didn't you ever see "The Cat From Outerspace"

I don't know about this whole leopards in space theme. Sounds like a b-movie from the 1950's.
Attack of the 50-FOOT Leopard!
It was the day the OSes stood still!
That isn't a galaxy, that's the kuiper belt.
Look:

I could try to talk my way out of it, but it is better that I just apologize and leave it alone...
