EOF/ObjC isn't even on the radar in terms of the issues that Apple is
dealing with in their efforts to augment and extend the Macintosh markets?
Apple is a for profit company building hardware that is largely
aimed at the consumer and education markets. Apple does not have a
history of building systems for the enterprise market. Apple is in the
middle of-- well, coming out of the middle of-- changing EVERYTHING about
the way that Mac OS worked.
So why would Apple help maintain and release Darwin/x86 ? Doesn't sell
hardware, doesn't even sell Apple software.
How does WOF fit into your statements? From Apple's product description:
"WebObjects allows you to focus on only that code needed for your
e-commerce, asset management, or MIS solution", yea, that sounds like the
consumer&education market. WOF is an enterprise product, no question.
Why does Apple sell OS X server? Why does Apple sell server machines?
You are doing one thing "CodeFab provides a wide range of system
integration and consulting solutions, focused on developing and deploying
enterprise scaled object-oriented solutions for large corporations. " And
saying another.
I heard all these Apple apologist arguments when Apple dropped
YellowBox/Windows, it is horribly sad they have to be used again. Apple is
screwing over some of their best developers and advocates, shame on them,
and shame on you for defending them.
