- In the Jan 4 issue of Open Systems Today on page 3 ( :-O ) is an article that
- says NeXT plans to port NeXTSTEP to a number of platforms. I'll paraphrase the
- good bits,
-
- "Next Computer will be porting NextStep to several RISC platforms, company
- officals have confirmed."
-
- "SPARC, Hewlet-Packard's PA-RISC, Digital Equipment Corp.'s Alpha APX and
- PowerPC...are the leading contenders"
-
- "Despite its new strategy, Bachman* insists Next won't get out of the hardware
- business and will build workstations this year based on an as-yet-unrevealed
- RISC platfirm. Upgrades of existing Motorola 68040-based hardware also will be
- offered in 1993, he said"
-
- " ..he did rule out the Motorola 88000."
-
- *Brett Bachman, Next director of software marketing. He is quoted many times.
-
- Take this for what it's worth, but it's encouraging to me.
