$400 million for part-time help. I am just repeating what some analysts have pointed out. You shell out this kind of money for part-time help and consultation? That is not a wise investment decision. If I was going to spend this kind of money, I want somebody in there doing the OS development full time not just a consultation effort. Other analysts have pointed out that developers have found using NEXT OS not very friendly (UNIX remnants here I think). Also developing apps is not as easy in NEXT OS and porting could create problems. Apple did have a choice; they should have partnered with BeOS or better yet create a compettition as to which company can come out wiith the next pre-emptive multitasking MAC OS first. Cash and stock would have been the reward. Amelio and company has let go a lot of people. This is obviously starting to show now.
