come to think of it, sun may be the only company to have the entire stack of technologies in house... chips, servers, os, VM, programming language, development environment.. cloud computing seems an obvious direction.. perhaps they are doing that already?

Not really - the one piece of the puzzle that Sun doesn't really have is services (aside from support).
