One of the more recent issues of (I believe) PC Week had a chart called
"Application Watch" which showed the number of applications available for
the different operating systems (OS/2, different flavours of UNIX).  It
showed the OpenLook (What I've been told the Amiga 3000UX runs) has about
2.5 time the number of available applications found with the NeXT implement-
ation.  Can anybody confirm/refute?
