This response is not constructive.  What needs to be known, quite aside
from issues of how much like/unlike SunOS A/UX will be, is whether, for
example, streams and other V.3 features will be supported, and whether
Apple intends to track (in some way, I'm not prejudging the way) the ongoing
efforts to reconverge the various flavors of unices.  "Politically correct
questions" be damned.
