So why did Foundation have to get slower in order to come to Mac OS-X ?
Openstep was already portable and ported. Hell, it was faster in Rhapsody
than it is now.
Regarding audience size, I beg to differ. The theoretical market for
Openstep applications was 20 times bigger before Apple reneged on existing
cross platform capability and repeated promises by making YellowBox single
platform.
