    But how will it be perceived by the Unix professionals and the power users?
    
    The people with Suns, Apollos, HP's, Vaxes, Symbolics, TI, etc. at work.

Well, *I* have Suns and HP's and Symbolicses & TI's either on my desk
or within quick walking distance (I'm posting this from a Sun 3/50).
They are nice machines.  What I would like on my desk at work is a Mac
II running A/UX.  It would be nice to have the same at home.  I know,
I seem to be becoming almost as much an A/UX bigot as Phil :-), but
there are reasons for that.  I've actually used A/UX.  And NeWS.  And
X.  And HP/UX.  And Symbolicses.  And so on.  And I'd still rather
have a nice, fast Mac II running A/UX.

I think I qualify as a power user...  I've been known to choke whole
networks of Suns at a time (rexd can be fun).  And I have *yet* to
find a window system that is as nice as the Mac toolbox.  NeWS could
come close if they ever build a real user interface system on top of
it, but the Mac II is here now, ready to go.

Don't pass judgement before you've used it.
