I say better and better.

It lends more votes to DPS, which strengthens Adobe, which makes the
NeXTSTEP design more mainstream. The real interesting thing to watch
is whether Sun can get the pieces to play together in a coherent way.

And then it gives NeXT a marketing angle - why wait until 1993 (or
whenever the real ship date is) for something proven and available
yesterday?

Frankly I expect more announcements of NeXT's competition picking up
their approach piece by piece.

P.S. I am pretty much supportive of Sun since they did so well by us
in the earlier days. I have sadness for their lack of innovation and
leadership in recent years. Thus we look at the NeXT as the innovator
and leader in a new era (1 era = under five years in this business).
