Doubt it.
Today, Apple can't even power themselves, iCloud runs on Amazon Cloud Services and Windows Azure.
In terms of language, can't see Apple wanting to take on the additional responsibility of supporting the Objective-C runtime and foundation frameworks on Linux and Windows. They can't even keep up with RADAR bug reports from existing developers.
- kcl 14y agoApple's track record on the web has been poor. Their websites are not first class. So they could have to build expertise there. I think, for backend services, networking expertise on the OS teams would go a long way. In terms of staffing and responsibility, I don't see that as an issue, since if this does make sense for Apple, Apple is large enough that handling the workload wouldn't be a problem.
