Hi, things are not that messy, it's just that we don't want to talk 
about products before they are really shipping. Talking about unannounced
products will just make the situation more messy.

The PowerPC chip will be used for personal, office level computers by
Apple, and in high end workstations by IBM. This is a nice and clear
separation, and it's actually a win-win situation for both parts.

PowerOpen is for the 'Open Systems People', while MacOS for PowerPC
is for the rest of us :-). Another win-win, if you think open systems
is the way to go, go for PowerOpen. If you like the MacOS environment,
you got it.

I've been involved in this project for eight months now, and even if I'm
leaving it due to a new challenge, I must say that things are really
under control and something wonderful will happen soon.

Cheers,
Kent
