Saw this a while back, funny how he pokes fun at DOS.
It's odd listening to him say his product is better than a mac.
Indeed.
Not knowing much about the history of NEXT, I'd say he did it when he got kicked out of Apple, just before Apple started dieing.

Yeah that's pretty much it. Left apple and started neXT to compete. Made it TOO good, in that it was just too expensive. There's some very good books all about the whole thing. I'm not once for reading books, and even I thought so !

It was at the time though, NeXT was just a less pretty version of some of today's Mac OSX. Think at the time Apple were still messing about with System 7.
yeah i was reading about all this a while back (shortly after i bought my first mac actually 
) - he developed NeXT after getting kicked out and subsequently NeXT ended up being bought by Apple and NeXTSTEP (the OS) formed the official basis for OS X. when Apple took over NeXT he basically got reinstated to his rightful position at the top of the pile
(although he allegedly gets paid a salary of $1 a year or summat soft like that... probably a tax thing i doubt he needs the cash - next was bought for half a billion dollars or summat like that 
)
wonder if i could install a copy on my VMware purely out of interest of the early beginnings of the os we now know and love?

As a programmer, it was interesting to see Interface Builder being used.
I mean, I knew the history, but to actual see it on the screen moving around makes it seem all the more impressive.

The Cocoa API which most modern Mac OS X software is created with is actually NextStep.

He's hardly changed apart from his clothes and hair!
It always amazes me when I look at videos of the old Macs and PCs and realise how far they have come in a relatively short space of time. Makes me wonder what we will have in 15-20 years. Scary thought really.
