I hear similar statements when I argue with GEM fans about why I prefer
Windows over GEM. GEM looks much more like the Mac than Windows does,
but is - as far as I can tell - nowhere object oriented or message
passing based internally. It shares with the Mac the initial single 
tasking design, which make things like DAs and Multifinder necessary.
Windows has (and needs) neither.
