We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

No, Apple does not need to 'realize' that, as it is not the case. IBM's POWER architecture is quite capable. Supporting x86 and AMD64 does NOT buy them anything in the 'enterprise'.
Since you appear to work at Cisco: I hope it is not too difficult to understand that POWER is not PPC.
The priceing on PPC is similar to x86,
Oh, now it comes to price, you don't mention POWER anymore. How tactical!
and Apple is selling HW that comes w/ a UNIX OS which will run on it.
Just see what IBM will do with Apple when Apple attempts to ship 16 way SMP PPC machines.
