This should really be titled competing with Borland. At this time the Next Software only ran on their own Unix Workstations. I think when they formed OpenStep, it was NT workstations, rather than consumer Windows PCs. They were closer in competition to Sun with their SDKs. Microsoft and Borland were for the common man that just wanted to write C++ apps. No one was running NextStep in their parents garage.
