"I'm excited to let you all know that as of now Sun engineering will add its support to the ongoing Mac/Aqua porting effort. The MacOSX porting history is basically as old as OpenOffice.org itself. Practically from the start there was the plan to have a native version for Mac, however as a first step the community decided to produce an X11 port which - since OOo already had several X11 ports from the start - seemed to be a good way to get a version quickly as temporary solution. As usual the 'temporary solution' tended to be quite long lived."

More than one analyst suggests a Apple-Sun merge: Solaris as kernel for a Mac OS X with Java Desktop/Enterprise System's technologies, powered with Sun's solutions native in Cocoa.
Yeah, Solaris hasn't today some APIs from Mach that OSX needs, but NetBSD code can be a good help about this. It isn't impossible.
