Not surprising considering that the publishing industry is (understatement)
quite important to Apple's future, and said industry made it VERY (in talks
at a HIGH level) clear that breaking systems which publish many newspapers
(or parts thereof), catalogs, yellow pages directories, etc etc by
switching from AppleScript and OSA generally would quickly end industry
purchases.  [OSA generally since Frontier has a large chunk too.]  If they
had to rewrite their systems anyhow, they would do it on Windows.
