They should also consider that the high performance workstation
market is going to be a bloodbath in the 90s, and they're not going
to stay in business for very long selling $10000 machines with
pretty interfaces but can't handle multitasking, protected memory
which can be reallocated in real time, and all the other wonderful
things one would expect from a real operating system. I'm not sure
how they will accomplish this without abandoning to some degree the 
bottom end of the Mac line, though.

Just my $0.02, and your mileage may vary. :-)
