Excellent take on the X-clone issue Bill!

My view of the horizon is Apple as an OS licensor with Rhapsody while maintaining its hardware business with continued evolution of Mac OS. This would allow Apple to penetrate the non-Apple OS installed base with an OS that supports all OS's.

This would compete with Unix, NT, etc... while supporting them as well.

The comment by Ellison that "OS 8 was the future of Apple, not Rhapsody" is a contraindication. However, Apple is not yet ready to play up its advantages with the multiplatform OS either.

Good hunting,

HerbVic
