Steve Jobs Demos NeXTSTEP 3.0

node 3 writes "Following the current trend of posting video from product demos long past, openstep.se has posted a 55MB video from 1992 of Steve Jobs demoing NeXTSTEP 3.0. They already have 4 mirrors hosting the file, but hopefully someone will set up a torrent (I would, but I don't have a place to post it). If you find the demo compelling and want to try out NeXTSTEP for yourself, you can always go here or here to get started."

Re:How old is this?

Pretty remarkable that 12 or so years later, it's still just coming together, and other OSs are still catching up.

Scalable antialiased graphics exists on all major platforms, richly formatted mail is standard (HTML or Microsoft), network interoperability existed long before NeXT, the dock is a standard misfeature of most desktops, interface builder is clunky compared to modern visual IDEs, and WYSIWYG word processing is standard and was invented long before NeXT even was conceived. So, other systems aren't "catching up", they "caught up" a long time ago.

Apple should dump that pathetic little Mach-0 and use a Linux kernel instead.
