I wrote something to the effect that Sculley has announced that there is no
official or unoffical release date for System 7.0.  So as not to give the
wrong impression, I do want add that Apple hopes to have System 7.0 ready
during the first six months of 1991.  Sculley, however, said Apple would not
commit or promise any date.

On another point, several people have written about one or two features 
available in System 7.0 not yet available in NeXTStep.  Keep in mind that
NeXTStep 3.0 may very well be out by the time System 7.0 is finally 
released.  3.0, I hear, will really be something to see. 

By the way, the current NeXTStep has features that System 7.0 only aspires to,
like pre-emptive multitasking.
