There is no doubt that NeXTStep is a lot better than NT.  That does not
mean that NeXTStep is going to sell more than NT.  First, NT is cheaper.
If you buy the pre-release for $69.00 you get a free upgrade.  Second,
NT will be running in more platforms than NeXTStep (in the near future).  
Third, NT has the applications that NeXTStep still does not have.

I might buy NeXTStep for my PC depending on the price.  I already bought NT
(for $69.00 how couldn't I?), and it does not seem VAPOR-WARE to me.  
I know more than 30 people at work that already bought NT.  I only know
two people that use NeXT at work.

Can I get a pre-release of NeXTStep?  Does not seem like?

Just my opinions.

P.S. Don't get me wrong! I have a NeXT Cube in my office and I use it every day.
I like NeXTStep a lot.  It is just that I don't think that it is going to sell 
as well as NT.
