"Basiji, I take your point about wanting to get to market, but your Windows market is available now and even MacOS X Server will have higher 1998 sales than Rhapsody would have, as noted above." True enough, assuming Apple continues with plans to ship the Yellow Box APIs for Windows. If so, Apple can sell OSX server as a Windows development platform as well as a server OS. This will allow developers to take advantage of the Windows market without the need to abandon the Mac. When OSX finally hits the market, those developers will have mature Yellow Box applications ready for the Mac. My fear is that Apple abandons the Windows API, essentially removing any incentive for new developers for at least a year.
