This may not go over well with Slashdot folks, but Sun screwed up a long time ago when they did not deliver a system based on OPENSTEP. Instead, they stole as much ideas as the could from OPENSTEP/Objective-C to create Java and kept using shitty CDE/Motif.
Wiser decisions and they would be enjoying the fruits of NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP as Apple is now, and perhaps a merger would have made sense.

It might be too late now....
... granted, this topic will have been archived, and mono and hopefully .NET will too.
Within a few years, GNUStep(*BSD, Linux) and Cocoa (Mac OS X) will make this topic moot.
Awful comparison. Serial ATA vs. Ultra ATA. DVD-ROM vs DVD-R. I can go on, but its not worth it... You guys need to stop.
