Why coudn't Apple acquire the source to Lotus Improv from IBM? This is already based on the NeXT frameworks/Obj-C and is still considered one of the most revolutionary ideas ever. The fact that it is not available anywhere is a testimony to the power of Obj-C. Apparently, the concepts that make Improv unique are too hard to implement without the technology now known as Cocoa. I would sure hate to see MS's .NET reach the point where Improv reappears there first.
Along with Keynote, a decent WP, and Accounts (cool idea), this would make for an insanely great office suite.
