Snide and untrue? Falsehoods? Not relevant? Hmm. Instead of adding Quartz and OpenStep to buff up Darwin, perhaps we should remove the FreeBSD heritage, as you suggest, and see what weighs heavier to actually define OSX (and especially as open source, which is what we are talking about, no)? Of course the license allows for it -- that's how it is intended to grow -- and evey release of OSX will be oh so much more than the low-level OS core, so "generously" left open. But how did FreeBSD actually come about in the first place? And what happened to lowly Watson when Sherlock came of age (3) with 10.2? It's elementary my friend. How could Apple possibly make this potentially crippling-to-the-edge-of-final-bankruptcy shift without getting everyone, customers and third parties inlcuded, onboard sooner rather than too late?

(This final untrustworthy paragraph insertion attests that the above is simply something as misled as my own opinion and bears no relation to proper objective thought or certifiable real events. Always use with caution, and please discard or embrace at will. Agenda permanently attached.)
