Thank you for link in Unix World magazine.
Interesting that Microsoft with all of its wrong visions of futures of software stopped
playing with “unix make it yourself” kits, and made os ready for instant usage based on windows api.
Highly respect you neozeed. And your article about Sun-2 os probably the best on internet.

In reply to Richard Wells. Crazy in how we had hoped for a computer on every desk, not even thinking of every pocket, and every possible tiny device. I think once we hit the point of contact card reading doors, among other things we certainly hit a crazy tipping point where CPUs can and are in everything. Heck even storage cards have embedded processors into them. There is that Apple video cable with an embedded ARM to transcode the digital video signal. There is no reason XNU couldn't run in 256MB of RAM, although it's probably NetBSD, like the airports.

The only part that is surprising is just how modest the hoped for size of the Unix market would be.
