- There is no doubt that NeXTStep is a lot better than NT. That does not
- mean that NeXTStep is going to sell more than NT. First, NT is cheaper.
- If you buy the pre-release for $69.00 you get a free upgrade. Second,
- NT will be running in more platforms than NeXTStep (in the near future).
- Third, NT has the applications that NeXTStep still does not have.
-
- I might buy NeXTStep for my PC depending on the price. I already bought NT
- (for $69.00 how couldn't I?), and it does not seem VAPOR-WARE to me.
- I know more than 30 people at work that already bought NT. I only know
- two people that use NeXT at work.
-
- Can I get a pre-release of NeXTStep? Does not seem like?
-
- Just my opinions.

- P.S. Don't get me wrong! I have a NeXT Cube in my office and I use it every day.
- I like NeXTStep a lot. It is just that I don't think that it is going to sell
- as well as NT.
