One of the things that may make this work is the fact that Apple (as they usually do) may maintain a closed system. Thats why integration has been so easy. I suspect that it will still be the Apple way of doing things with a huge speed bump and Unix stability. I cant wait to see what the future brings and how it will pan out. New ideas and ways of accomplishing them are going to be very interesting. Sun, Google, and Java come to mind as well. The next year will see some interesting technology.
