Jim, I don't think your desires are inconsistent with Apple's strategy as I see it. Consider: 1. There's no reason why MacOS X can't run on any hardware platform to which Mach can be ported. Apple has not said that it will be ported to other platforms; then again, it hasn't said that it won't either. Seems to me they're being deliberately cagey on this. Keep in mind, though, that MacOS X will have a Unix core. 2. With or without MacOS X and Mach, the YB APIs already do run on a variety of OS platforms. At the very least, Apple has in the past committed to keeping YB APIs current for Windows and allowing developers to those APIs for free. These APIs could very easily be ported to any flavor of Unix, and bet that we will see them at least on Solaris.
