<<From what we've seen at WWDC, Apple possesses at least a half-dozen technologies that each alone could support a company as a darling of Wall Street with a $5B market cap. In these days when everybody is desperate to find the NEXT BIG THING in the technology and Internet sectors, the brilliant work of the MANY true visionaries at Apple is still hiding in plain sight.>> Hope so. But, I don't know if they know how to market those products or if there are customers out there. <<Apple is committed to Rhapsody on Intel and on Windows.>> I don't understand what "Rhapsody on Intel and on Windows" means. Rhapsody is an OS, while window is another OS. Rhapsody is an Unix- based, Window is an pc OS. Apple has tied closely with IBM on G3, G4 etc., how can it have any commitment on Intel. These are all smoke screen when Dr. Gil was CEO. Yes, I believe Apple's Rhapsody development was on schedule, but few developers will develop on it and there is a huge problem on reverse engineering on those API's currently on Mac OS, where those API's are difficult to port to Rhapsody on short timeframe (check SEC Filing). We have to realize that when Dr. Gil bought NeXT, he put lots of weight on Jobs capability, not NeXT's OS. I believe he knew better than anybody else. Phil

The problem is that Apple has a hard time converting those technologies into successful commercial products e.g. e-mate, newton, copland, exponential...

e.b. Thanks for the WWDC update - whats on TV 8:00pm Thursday ? AAPL's Masters are scheduled for 7:00 pm , but whats on WWDC's big TV screen at 8:00 ? Your post " Apple is committed to Rhapsody on Intel and on Windows. " is encouraging and appreciated . Any read from AAPL's zecks on the DOJ-MSFT affect on Rhapsody ? Please keep us informed . Thanks and regards, Jim K. _________________________ " Apple is committed to Rhapsody on Intel and on Windows. To paraphrase Bertrand Serlet, VP, Apple Platform Technologies, Apple realizes the value of those resources and will continue to allow people the option to run Rhapsody on the inferior platform of their choice. There is NO danger they will squander the killer OS resources that they have. "
