Probably still trying to deliver either 7.0, the bugfix for 7.0, or the 
first third of the features initially promised for 7.0.  (Sorry, Chuq.)

Actually, I suspect that by that time, Apple will have totally integrated
unix (nee A/IX) into System 9.0 (or whatever) with Open Look.  Of course,
the user community will complain that it won't run on a Mac Plus.
