Another interesting question (to me at least), is what if Sun had made Solaris open source about 10 years earlier. I think there's a chance what is now Linux (and potentially Android as well) would have adopted the Solaris kernel. The differences may not have been great to some, but I believe we may have been about 10 years ahead in the opensource OS game by now, since the Solaris kernel was such an advanced thing at the time, and with the thriving Linux community it could have really flourished...
