"There are dozens of articles like this one on the net. Over and over people suggested solutions like this for different reasons and although I know that such thing probably won't happen any time soon, from my point of view now it is the best moment ever in the history of both operating systems to merge in a one powerful alliance. And the hell has already frozen over, hasn't it? First I will give short description of both OSes, so we can see the strong and the weak sides of them and see if the combination should eliminate the shortcomings and make the good points even better." Update: Sun is giving out free Solaris 10 DVD sets.

What, exactly, is Apple's commitment to the server? I have heard about DTrace and ZFS, is there anything else? Will their servers be expected to be a big part of their plans? I was a bit surprised that nothing much was said of Leopard at MacWorld, nor is anything said about the "server" aspect of Leopard on their website. In fact, the name change reflects all the gadgets and gizmos than actual computers. So, this article states the many benefits of the Solaris kernel that would help Apple in the server department. However, I have not seen much that would indicate that Apple is making a big enterprise push. Does anybody else have some more concrete ideas about Apple and their servers.
