Re: Tuesday, November 7, 2001
Should Apple now be showing up at UNIX trade shows, giving talks, demonstrating Darwin and its applications (Apple and otherwise) and behaving roughly as the inheritor of the role NeXT played in that community? I strongly believe they should, but I'd like your opinions as well. Not just yes, but hell yes. I don't have the hard numbers to back this up, but my understanding is that Apple has shipped more UNIX seats with OS X than anyone has before. Combined. In total. That ought to get them a seat at the table and a little bit of respect. The Linux folks have been trying to push UNIX for users (not geeks and/or servers) for years, and (imo) failed dismally. Apple hasn't succeeded yet, but they're on the right path. OS X's two biggest bottlenecks to real adoption are Photoshop and Retrospect. When those two ship, that's when serious upgrades will happen.
