今天苹果宣布收购NeXT!这对苹果很好——给他们一个非常先进的面向对象操作系统,OpenStep,可以超越微软Windows。

这对NeXT很好——OpenStep将成为主流,被数百万人使用;这是NeXT每个人十年来的梦想。

这对皮克斯很好——将我从经营两家公司中解放出来,这样我可以把更多精力投入皮克斯。未来甚至可能有一些皮克斯和苹果合作的可能性(如果创意驱动!)。

而且,这对我真的很好。我与NeXT一群出色的同事一起工作了十多年,我们的工作最终成为主流将是非常令人满足的(皮克斯每个人都已经知道这种感觉)。我将为苹果的产品战略提供建议,我可以把更多时间花在皮克斯:)。

我非常快乐和兴奋。

史蒂夫

Email to Pixar Employees, Make Something Wonderful

Email to Pixar Employees

"Apple Acquires NeXT."

From: Steve Jobs
To: Pixar
Subject: Apple Acquires NeXT
Date: December 20, 1996, 9:24 p.m.

Today Apple announced that it is acquiring NeXT! This is great for Apple -- it gives them a very advanced object-oriented operating system, OpenStep, that can leapfrog Microsoft Windows.

This is great for NeXT -- OpenStep will become mainstream and be used by millions of people; this has been a dream of everyone at NeXT for ten years.

This is great for Pixar -- it will free me up from running two companies, so I can devote even more of my energies to Pixar. There may even be some possibilities for Pixar and Apple to work together in the future (if creatively driven!).

And, this is really great for me. I have been working with a group of wonderful colleagues at NeXT for over a decade, and having our work finally become mainstream will be very gratifying (a feeling everyone at Pixar already knows). I will be advising Apple on their product strategy, and I will get to spend even more of my time at Pixar :).

I am very happy and excited.

Steve
