<<From what we've seen at WWDC, Apple possesses at least a
half-dozen technologies that each alone could support a company as a
darling of Wall Street with a $5B market cap. In these days when
everybody is desperate to find the NEXT BIG THING in the technology
and Internet sectors, the brilliant work of the MANY true visionaries
at Apple is still hiding in plain sight.>>
Hope so. But, I don't know if they know how to market those products
or if there are customers out there.
<<Apple is committed to Rhapsody on Intel and on Windows.>>
I don't understand what "Rhapsody on Intel and on Windows" means.
Rhapsody is an OS, while window is another OS. Rhapsody is an Unix-
based, Window is an pc OS. Apple has tied closely with IBM on G3, G4
etc., how can it have any commitment on Intel. These are all smoke
screen when Dr. Gil was CEO. Yes, I believe Apple's Rhapsody
development was on schedule, but few developers will develop on it
and there is a huge problem on reverse engineering on those API's
currently on Mac OS, where those API's are difficult to port to
Rhapsody on short timeframe (check SEC Filing). We have to realize
that when Dr. Gil bought NeXT, he put lots of weight on Jobs
capability, not NeXT's OS. I believe he knew better than anybody
else.
