All machines, unless you get a used '030 cube have '040 and are currently
shipping with 2.1 of NeXTstep.

Currently there is no way to run Mac software on a NeXT.  I would't hold
my breath waiting either.

If you have a Mac keep it and run you old apps on it.  Buy the NeXT to run
new apps on.

BTW - I have a PC (clone) sitting next to my NeXT (no pun intended) doing
just that.  I do plan to buy SoftPC real soon though.
