Gil Amelio's talk about the OS plans is tomorrow, so I suggest you check in
at one of the on-line news sites (for example, http://www.news.com or
http://www.maccentral.com/) for more details tomorrow.  Even then, you may
not know.  Apple itself is probably scrambling to figure it out. What we
know already is that the new OS won't even support MacOS apps when it's
first released.  What gets put in after that is anyone's guess, and
probably will depend in some way on the reception the Mac/NeXT OS gets.
I'm sure the computer press ("Computing is what Bill Gates tells us it is.
After all, didn't he invent computers and the Internet?") will be full of
details.  Presented with maximal anti-Apple spin, of course.
