[comp.sys.next] IBM, Apple , and Motorola about to enter alliance

stefanos@concour.cs.concordia.ca (KIAKAS stefanos) (06/25/91)

in today's Wall Street Journal there is a story about an agreement in 
principle between IBM, Apple, and Motorola.  in this agreement IBM will
licence to Motorola the risc chips ( RIOS ) and IBM would get help from Apple
to develop a standard "object oriented" operating system.

Motorola would be able to sell the risc chips to other companies as well.

this is just an agreement in principle, with the signing of the agreement to
take place later.

i though this wld be interesting for all those people  hoping for a
next computer with a risc chip.

if IBM won't port NeXTstep to RS 6000 maybe NeXT can use these risc chips.

what do you think?
