Sun has contributed to the Open Source community. I also notice that much 
of the money being made on open source software is in the support arena. 
Isn't that what RedHat is selling these days?

A number of the leading lights of open source are now working for major OS 
vendors. What do you make of that?

Apple is well on its way to becoming the largest volume vendor of unix. How 
will that affect things?
