All of these Web sites that deal with Apple rumors and news and speculatingon the latest thing are not that wise. All these people need to do is lookat the job openings at Apple to see what types of future products/technologies Apple is working on. Take a look at some of the Software Engineer or Network positions on Apple. They all requireknowledge of Windows 2000 functions, Unix, and all of the Network andtechnology.
It’s blatantly obvious that in order for the Mac to survive they have toslowly fuse Windows and Unix products into their OS. It’s readily obviousthat Apple is trying to use UNIX as a platform to lure potential Windows andUnix users to OS X. When you have hardcore Windows and Unix geeks (like one ofthe Linux geeks here) saying that they love the GUI for OS X and the samefunctionality of UNIX, well… It’s all over for the Windows Serverenvironment.
Especially since the Linux and Unix GUI will never get past the DOS look.That is the downfall to Linux and Unix, they can’t do anymore the userinterface than what they have already done. Somehow, the Apple team, hasmanaged to incorporate the Darwin and BSD kernel. Whoa, OS X has been indevelopment for over ten years!
