Larry Ellison has for a long time wanted to try and run around Microsoft's OS domination. Oracle announced earlier this year a DB product which essentially runs bare naked on the hardware - without an OS, and can serve up business applications (written in Java) to thin clients. My "out there" bet is that Oracle announces the porting of this to Apple's PowerPC platform, and goes heavily into league with Apple, cobranding and selling Apple's hardware bundled with Oracle's software to large businesses. Oracle gets a license to bundle Apple's universal motherboard in their own packaging, or else uses the iMac C2 with netboot and no hard disk as the thin client. Of course, what do I know :)
