  Apple Preparing for a Microsoft Free Future?
Time: 10:41 EST/15:41 GMT | News Source: Apple | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Back in the mid-nineties Apple was in some serious trouble, they needed a new operating system but their efforts (Copland) had come to naught. One supposes there was a bit of corporate gnashing of teeth and bewilderment at the fact that one of the most visible computers makers in the world could not fashion a new operating system no matter how many resources they threw at it (insert your own Longhorn joke here). In the end the Apple’s directors swallowed a bitter pill, abandoned efforts at creating a decent operating system and purchased NeXT.
