Heh. Make sure you don't mention that to any NeXT people... OS X
evolved from NeXTStep, which took well over two years to develop.
That's not to say there wasn't a lot of improvement to OS X's BSD
underpinnings (such as a lot of the FreeBSD code that was brought in).
But it's probably not the best example for long-term sustainability
arguments. (Unless you have financial info on Apple's R&D that the
rest of us are not privy to-- then we'll be bugging you for stock
tips.)
