Hmm...this may be to counter  Windows3.0 and Microsoft Works. It does appear
that Apple is concerned enough about the effects of Windows. Many Mac
developers(including Microsoft) are shifting resources to Windows 3.0. Since
Apple has brought Claris back into the fold, this move is to be expected. The
question is whether this alters the probability of a ROM04 GS? The GS situation
has looked better, one must admit.
