I saw a newpaper article today saying it is rumoured that IBM and Steve Jobs
have reached an agreement to licence his user interface from the NEXT computer.

Adding speculation to a rumour (:-), I wonder if Apple's lawsuit has scared
IBM into an embrace with Steve Jobs?  If the rumour is true, it will be a great
boost for NEXT, and an equal blow to MS-Windows.
