Tying service A and interface B so that they work together well. Not just that they work together on most Linux systems and FreeBSD, but also on Solaris, HP-UX, all the BSD's, AIX, and so on and so forth. Sun Microsystems has studied GNOME's usability more than anyone (that I know of) and provided a lot of feedback into the developer community, and GNOME on *all* platforms is richer for it.
Not to mention their foundational work in GNOME Accessibility. I was privileged to see it in action at Linux World Expo 2000, and it amazed me. It wasn't propeganda; it clearly wasn't ready for widespread deployment, and it had numerous glitches. Some controls didn't even respond to A11Y events yet. But I don't think anyone else was pouring energy into it the way Sun Microsystems was at the time.
