>This makes me wonder how real A/UX is, as a product.

I would say it is more real than you might think. Apple doesn't talk about
non-announced products. A/UX is still officially unannounced. Hence they
don't talk about it. With all the furor about vaporware, this policy makes
sense with me.

I'd bet, however, based on my talking to  various folks who have poked their
fingers at something that might be called A/UX sometime in the future, that
it might well be announced sooner than you think, and once it is announced,
it'll probably show up shelves faster than you'd be willing to believe. This
is all idle speculation, you understand. I know nothing. Honest.
