Could someone clarify what OpenStep Enterprise is? From what I've
followed it allows NS apps to be built for Windows. But I also note the
statement on the order form page that you can't use it for commercial
apps - that would seem a bit of a constraint to me:-)

Imagine how many more Cocoa apps would get written if they were

iTunes in all it's aqua/brushed aluminium splendour now runs on

I'm not suggesting the porting of Mac OS X for intel - which given
NeXT/OpenStep's history is not that far fetched - but how about
emulation of the Cocoa frameworks? Sure it might be slower (or maybe
not?) but then that would help to not undermine Apple's hardware
sales. In that vein Apple could strategically restrict some of it's
own apps to only function on Apple hardware.
Technically problematic but given the history of successful emulators
running M$ OS's on Mac surely doing something like it the other way
round is not impractical?
As a developer I would gladly pay for a licence to do this, could
even be another revenue stream for Apple - as if they needed it ;-)
Probably, this might be interesting for you:
