I'm not so sure given the results. Google (with selling the hardware / chip division to Fujitsu) would have done pretty well given all the tech projects Sun had.

If Apple had bid to prevent (patents I suppose), I wonder if ZFS would have finally been on OS X. Java would have been the truly odd man out in that acquisition. I could see Java being sold to IBM.

zfs actually was on a few leopard betas.

Not that it worked well mind you, it made Finder even more useless than before. But it did "work" for varying definitions of the word.

Yeah, I was more thinking production ready default and integrated into the shipped programs (e.g. Disk Utility).

Oh I agree, what was there was nice too by the way. Shame it never made it though.

At least we have dtrace!
