Now THERE'S an interesting thought. Maybe Microsoft could sort of incorporate NeXTstep into Windows the same way they promise they will incorporate PostScript into Truetype (or is it TrueType?

Maybe incorporating NeXTstep wouldn't be a bad idea for them. And maybe pigs can fly. c.f.waltrip Internet: Opinions expressed are my own.
