Adam and others, I have a couple of technical questions I'm hoping you could answer. First, if you exclude YB, how much smaller might the Mac OS be once the APIs are slimmed down to Carbon? Significantly smaller? Or will Apple have to replace those APIs with new ones that are roughly the same size? And if you add Carbon to the rumored nanokernel (again, excluding YB), how small might the MacOS get without cutting functionality? As small as WinCE? I think you can see where this line of questioning is leading.
