That is pretty pessimistic there Mike... and no offense, but not
even realistic.
Just look at revenues gained by Adobe and Microsoft products for
those companies. OS X is highly profitable for them and I expect
that applications for OS X will be around for as long as there is
money to be made from them. Adobe has been investing large amounts
of effort and money in the next version of their tools for OS X and
if you are remotely paying attention to the "openness" of the
platform, OS X is far ahead of Windows.
There is a long ways to go with the platform and many improvements
to be made. I suspect what we are seeing with this years WWDC is
simply that Apple might not be as big a company (in terms of people)
as you might think. They have to invest their resources in areas of
growth to maximize the future of the company, which in this case is
iPhone/iPad development. The advantage here is that (simplistically
speaking) if you develop for the iPhone/iPad, you are also
developing for OS X.
Once the second campus comes online in Cupertino, Apple will be able
to bring on many more peeps, so I see no dearth of support in the
future for OS X.

After the WWDC announcement I've come to the realization that OS X
is probably in its final stage as we have it right now... OS X is
an open platform... anyone can do anything with it... iPhone OS is
closed and Apple controls it.
Apple has never really focused on enterprise... the closest thing
to enterprise was creative people, and I am going to bet after the
iPhone OS 4 and Flash fiasco that Adobe will pull their CS Suite of
apps from OS X. Adobe did it once before, they may do it again...
and if that happens, Microsoft may decide to pull Office.
It's interesting looking at the 1984 commercial and how Apple has
changed from "be free and different" to, "only if we want it will
you have it."
Could Microsoft become more open than OS X? Or, will Google be the
one who takes over?
Apple is now a media company more than anything else... selling
media (music, videos, apps)... they make great hardware but I think
the days of OS X are coming to an end... which really sucks because
OS X is the best OS out there... it's the stability and reliability
of Unix/Linux with a perfect interface.
At least OS X is good enough in it's current state to survive a few
more years before we have to move off of it....
Thanks for the fun ride Apple, it was great!

Mac OS X de-emphasized; iPhone OS gets center stage. Also, no Apple
Design Awards for Mac OS X; iPhone & iPad only.
No Enterprise sessions to be found for any platform.
Hope Apple has other plans for updating Enterprise customers.
