H.P.,
Yes, Apple would provide more software to the pc communities, especially
will start providing Next associated software on Wintel platform since
Next software has been ported on that platform (based on what I heard).
According to Ms. Hancock's presentation, it seems that Apple would focus
more on software than before. In part, because Apple has acquired
Next, which is absolute software contents. Apple would introduce
oo technoloy into pc, which makes pc users additional capability.
There is one interesting issue remaining - which kernal will be used
in Apple upcoming os, - Copland, updated version of Mach or Sun's OS?
And what kind of impact when one of the above is chosen? Is it
possible using IBM's OS/2, since they are in the same hardware base?
The future development on selecting new kernal would indicate the
Apple's trend in the future. |
