Fusion Technology. >So what now? How is this good or bad for you and me? Well, imagine the following: Apple releases a few more MacOS 8.xxx or even 9.xxx and MicroSoft releases Windows 98. No big deal, they were planning on it any way, but what if they worked together for a universal computer language? It can happen, and it should. The universal OS would be this: MicroSoft support, funding and distribution as the foundation; a UNIX (or NEXT) core technology for the OS; and true MacOS interface with the end user. This means a solidly supported operating systems with the power of UNIX and the ease of operation found in the MacOS. This operating system can't lose and the odd thing is that Rhapsody or the eventual release of Rhapsody can become this. This may indeed be something in the back of the minds of Jobs and Gates. It makes sense and is the best possible solution for all. < macinsider.com Not a new idea but fleshed out and consistent with other rumors of an enhanced AAPL/MSFT alliance. soup
