Blue Apple?

Plenty of rumors around at the moment re IBM being interested in Apple. Some commentators think that when the deal between IBM and who ever acquires its PC business (still looks like Levono Group) is done, Big Blue might be looking towards Cupertino.

All this reminds me of Taligent, a company and an object oriented OS, that was laid to rest in 1998. The partners in that project were IBM and Apple.
