According to MacLeak, things like Mail, QuickTime, Scripting, and RISC
support are on the way in the future. I think Sculley had said at one time
that the OS was moving to Unix, but then again he also stated that Apple
was going to ship a major new System once every six months..

I hope Apple doesn't make the interface so complicated it becomes too hard
for computer innocents to sit down at a Mac for the first time and walk away
two hours later knowing how to manipulate files, use a word processor, and 
a couple of other apps. That's the strength of their product.
