Short version: bullshit. The slightly longer version is that this is unfounded speculation - not even that, it's just a random blogger expressing a wish that Apple would do something which they most likely have no reason for or interest in doing. It also greatly exaggerates the benefits of ULE. It's good, but it's not a revolutionary breakthrough in computer science. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
