Personally, I think you all should keep your eyes out for Mac X (Mac 10).
It is due out in the middle to end of 1999. New features it's adding:

Preemptive multitasking--more responsive multitasking
Protected Memory--eliminate crashing
BSD UNIX-- serving power
Faster Java-- nuff said

I think it will give NT a run for it's money.
Imagine a system that is easy to use and has the horsepower to back it up.
Right out of the box it should be able to run BSD UNIX! Apache, etc. It
will be better at serving that NT.

Backwards compatibility for old Mac Programs--
     they don't get the new features. If one of the old programs crash it
brings down      all the other old programs running. The rest of the
system is left intact.

The point is, is that Mac X will combine the two operating systems I love most:
Mac and UNIX.
