Although it's too early to bet the farm, this merging of the Mac OS and NeXT may be just the product to finally give Microsoft a run for its money in the business world as well as that of home productivity. Apple's commitment to design the OS to run on Intel Pentium chips as well as the superior design Power PC chip will finally provide an even playing field for hardware comparison. One can cautiously surmise that Apple has finally learned something about marketing strategy from Bill Gates' example. I'd love to get email about this.
Life is so exciting.
