HahaHAHAHAhaha -- GREAT!!!
Whew! Yes, Steverino in his heart-of-hearts wants to spend time sucking up to IT types because he's fresh out of ideas on how to make a gazillion dollars by selling Jesus phones, iPods and ultra-coveted laptops to the ignorant masses.
A Steve Ballmer wannabe if I ever saw one! The guy just has no pride or sense of who he is.
Oops, there's this minor obstacle: exactly ZERO synergy between what makes Apple great and what makes Oracle, IBM and other Enterprise players even halfway powerful. (Maybe, with Google, but they're not Enterprise, either.) If IBM were to shell out $100+ billion to buy Apple (and any likely premium would make buying AAPL $150 billion, as much as IBM is deemed worth) it would be the world's goriest business fiasco, one for the ages.
Finally, face it: Microsoft wouldn't be where they are if it had competitors. Break the monopoly and all you'll do is destroy MSFT. Why would you want a second, incompatible Office/Windows monopoly? (Well, maybe you'd save IT shops a few billion dollars a year, but I'm not sure THAT's a Jobs goal, either.)
Too bad: if you want a Microsoft, you're gonna have to be happy with the one you got. Apple wants to be that company like you want to smell bad and eat roadkill for a living (I think).
