What do YOU think?
There was some anti competitive filing against Microsoft (surprise) in which Avadis Tevanian made comments that OpenSTEP / and OS x 1.x could never take hold, new API's were impossible to push on the industry etc... It was on the way to carbon.
But then again OSX *IS* OpenSTEP...
