IBM already has RS-6000 (AIX) workstation. I am not sure which one is better, Rhapsody or AIX? RS-6000 has been on market for a while, and still cannot compete with Sun Solaris and HP-UX in terms of market share. I seriously doubt if the merge of RS-6000 and Rhapsody can gain more market share. Maybe or maybe not? I wish they will. Phil

Franz, another thing IBM brings that Apple sorely lacks is seasoned business savvy. Apple reminds me of cliches about the brilliant entrepenuer(s) who starts a company on a wonderful idea, but cannot run it once the initial innovation gets a bit mature -- classic S-curve stuff. Jobs has brought back that original spirit, but (surprise!!!) the business is now so cut-throat that spirit won't carry very far this time around. Now, the REAL trick would be to get the two cultures to collaborate productively... no small order.
