1. Have Real overextended themselves by trying to sell RB into the Windows market ? How do they penetrate into VB-land (and Linux ?) at their current price point? Is Java a better bet for low entry-point developers (will JBuilder for OS X ever be seen again ?)?
2. Is OS X going to benefit from Linux developers looking for a way to earn a living (given that OS X users generally pay for their software - a novel concept for some) ?
3. Apple's USP is their hardware/OS integration - it's the one thing that Wintel can't match. What apps can you see being developed that play to this strength ? iMovie, iTunes, iView are good examples. Others ?
4. How do you encourage non-Mac developers to try OS X as a target platform ? Low cost IDEs ? Cross-platform environments ?

I look forward to the next column
