Just came from the Rhapsody/Yellow Box session at WWDC, and you (amongst a few others here) have got it right - it's mainly the name "MacOSX" that's the source of confusion (and the fact that this morning's session was aimed at developers with substantial legacy code investments. In summary: 1. Rhapsody as a cross-platform development environment is alive and well, as far as the eye can see. It is THE platform for future-looking app development, and will remain on Intel and Windows as well. 2. Carbon will run Carbon-updated apps, Yellow Box Apps, Blue Box Apps (for legacy Mac code not rev'd to Carbon) and Java apps. 3. Just saw a demo of Blue Box on Rhapsody DR2, and it is totally cool. Smooth transition on the fly back and forth to MacOS. All power-users will no doubt make transition to Rhapsody with 1.0 in September and run their Mac apps in the Blue Box. 4. Attendance at the Rhapsody session was 80-90% of this morning's keynote, and many developers expressed confusion - they are psyched about Rhapsody, and didn't know exactly what to make of the Carbon convergence.
