My question is, will the non-Unix side of the Mac be really
running as a process on the Unix box?  Or are they going to
be two separate OSs and you can only have one of them up
and running at a time?  Having the true MacOS running as a
process under the Unix OS would be the ideal way to go
since then when an app did something funky the MacOS could
be killed and then restarted (or maybe just restarted).
