I have a couple of suggestions.
Now doubt you wont like them, Murph, but here they are anyway:

- Work with Microsoft to get Windows Server running on SPARC. Why? There are a lot of small businesses on Windows servers for whom the migration to Sun hardware is simply too big. Being able to run Windows has worked well for Apples fortunes in the last couple of years.

- Put a rocket up Gosling's arse and pick up the pace on Java's evolution. It's as good as static right now, and there's plenty on interesting stuff going on in the languages space at the moment.
