- Don't think it matters. How many NeXT apps take full advantage of
- NeXTSTEP? Windows 3.0/3.1 apps will be at least as usable on NT as
- they are on DOS. Same is true of non-Windows DOS apps. Some
- people will buy NeXTSTEP (486 or '040) because of the available apps.
- Some will buy because of mission-critical apps development capability.
- But what if they didn't have to choose? What if they could run
- NeXTSTEP apps and develop mission-critical apps under NeXTSTEP on
- their NT machines. Wouldn't that attract a bunch?
