No no, Scully was not involved in the NeXT fiasco. Steve got the best freakin' engineers money could buy at the time, and came up with THE first truly workeable GUI OS at the time: NeXTStep. This was all that Win95 ended up being and more. BUT, Stevie wanted everyone to buy HIS hardware, with HIS logo and stuff. So, at $10K a pop, NeXT cubes ("cubes"? Hmmm....) stayed cozy on the shelves. It took Stevie 5 years to realize that he should have licenced NeXTStep for Intel. Too late, as usual.
Dude, this has nothing to do with what I wanted. When NeXTStep came out, it could have put M$ out of business in the GUI world, if only Steve had allowed the distribution on other hardwares THEN, instead of years later when it was too late. He's arrogant, and that cost him, that's all I'm saying.
But with him, though, it's the same mistakes over and over. He never learns. His machines have always been "one higher" than anything else, but his God complex makes him make all the wrong decisions as far as how to sell them.
All I'm saying is that Steve's arrogance allowed Windows to reign. I've worked with NeXT. I used to be a WebObjects programmer. He had everything to make Windows 95/NT obsolete back in 1992. But he's an arrogant idiot, so, Bill got the market, and we're all stuck with M$ now.
Their history (and NeXT's) is full of idiotic decisions, mainly caused by Jobs' ego, starting with the statment that Lisa "does not need a network card. No one wants to network workstations". Think of the NeXT failure because little Steve is too arogant to imagine someone not wanting HIS hardware. Same BS.
They came up with a product they did not forsee the consequences of. Once it had gotten out of hand and its negative effect was proven by thrird party, they keep on denying it, but refuse all real study and display utter hypocrisy about it. What more do you need? Should I draw it up for you?

Good, you've learned the sales brochure by heart. Now show me something this thing does that justifies paying 3 times the price of a PIII

Napster is the software equivalent of Big Tobacco. Think about it.
