NeXT was staying alive selling a development environment. Apple makes computers. Apple has nothing to gain from making life easier for Windows developers. I do expect to see more Apple products come out for Windows, following Safari and iTunes. To really be a contender, iWork will have to ship on Windows, just like AppleWorks and FileMaker before it. There's no reason why Apple should leave *either* of Microsoft's monopolies alone, given the fact that Microsoft today is utterly incompetent at software development, as the Longhorn disaster proves. -jcr The yellow box wasn’t shelved to placate Microsoft, it was shelved because what makes sense for Apple and what made sense for NeXT are very different things.
