NeXTStep (excuse me: OpenStep/Mach [?]) as an operating system is dieing 
fast.  Only a few app vendors are left, and most of the Unix tools (incl the 
file system) are year(s) old.  I would not be surprised if NeXT abandoned its 
OS altogether to concentrate on objects very soon.  It makes no sense to 
invest time on improving their OS any longer.
