The best thing they could do now
Is make a digital media hub like:

Microsoft XBOX2
Sony Playstation3
Apple Mac mini

Note as all the above run on the PowerPC/Power architecture, I'd suggest Sun do the following:

Make a larry ellison type "network computer" AKA digital media hub, perhaps with option of USB hard disk. It runs solaris and Looking Glass, has a 3d card (similar to apple's) and is ported to powerpc g4.

It comes with StarOffice and Java Runtime (upgradable). It would probably have to have a cheap 2.5 inch 40 gig hard disk in it, and the overall package come in at $500 ish.

Looking Glass runs on top of Linux or Solaris, so they could drop the kernel if the port looked nasty.

I think Looking Glass would certainly turn heads and get folks interested in this as a media hub.
