Spoken like someone who has never looked at a NeXT.  Of course, while  
you contentendly scoff in your corner, some of us have been enjoying  
the benefits of the world's best GUI, real multi-tasking, and  
object-oriented software for several years now.

As for bugs, NeXT is currently addressing those of release 3.0 of its  
OS; how long did it take MS to get that far?

You'd have a little more credibility if you got your facts straight;  
its Chrysler financial services that's placed the order, and one  
suspects CAD won't be what they'll run.

As for price, none has been announced, but expect it at around $700.   
And worth every penny.
