Easy in retrospect. I doubt you could have claimed this when they (NeXT) made the decision to go with BSD

- zmonkeyz 15y agoEspecially when you also saw BeOS in the running. I was happy when they chose NeXT but I always wanted a BeBox :)

- wtallis 15y agoNeXT was founded in 1985 for the purpose of creating a good workstation for the higher education market. By then, SunOS 2.0 was out, Ultrix was out, and 4.3BSD was under development. It wasn't even until mid-1986 that NeXT decided to make their own OS, and that was around the time that 4.3BSD and AIX were released. With Apple's technology off-limits, I'd say NeXT was following the herd when they decided to build off BSD.
