After watching this, I have become motivated to take database programming and web development more seriously in my studies as a computer programming major. I realise that the internet I grew up just.. I never truly appreciated or knew just how much it had to go through to get to where it is today. As always, I am captivated by Steve's way of speaking. Out of all presentations that I have seen of his, this is by far my favorite!! Thanks for uploading this, Rob!
thanks. I love watching videos about NeXT and I've never seen these before. they had such an acute sense for how we'd be using our computers 20 years later. the pages are generated just for you, collaborative, and the apps all connect.
This appears to be from sometime in the first half of 1996, not from 1995. Around the 20-minute mark, Steve (in referring to Java) says they "hope to have that sometime later this year" and "Q4 '96" is displayed on-screen. Great video and very cool to see!
Thanks for pointing that out the actual merger with Apple happened December 20, 1996 :) available end of March, so it has to be 1st Q 96 also the new short lived look no black turtleneck , jean jacket and tie woop.
when someone actually speaks of orders of magnitude evokes awe...it is inspiring, genuinely humbling, exhilarating, and terrifying...true orders of magnitude, and advancements of such are rarely seen, let alone developed...people often throw the term around as a buzz term only to increase the "egos" or "prospects" by the same order...but a real one, one like I've seen here this morning is awe inspiring...I didn't have to understand half of it, to appreciate it's seismic nucleus..! Wow
NeXTSTEP/ Openstep OS was so far ahead of Windows 95. Microsoft won the at the OS battle through marketing bribing the Rolling Stones for Start me up and price point. Microsoft had the vendors writing the drivers for them , where NeXT had to write their own drivers but with the driver kit templates it made it so mere mortals would be able to write drivers. A lot of the corporate bean counters in lockstep with Microsoft would simply approve PO's for PC's with Windoz, NeXT did an end run by having their boot manager support up to 4 operating systems on Intel so a dual boot system got PO's approved. A few developers did well just writing custom NeXTSTEP video Drivers for Laptops and selling them. When Apple looked at Openstep / Rhapsody simply created a VESA driver for Video a face palm moment as now any Video Card that was compliant with VESA made it like and octopus driver lol so everyone had Color Some times the best products don't win ..... The NeXT Developer tools found carved a nice niche for custom applications Openstep Enterprise for NT , PDO, EOF and WebObjects in some cases the NeXT dev tool features were already functional and with a few tweaks NeXT found themselves dropping software real word mission critical solutions for Microsoft that micro soft was still 2 years out in projected availability aka vaporware. The crappy Windows OS created huge opportunities for consulting and repair , we actually had a custom opensource front end that ripped the face off windows our version called blackstep , the best part of it was that the blue screen of death would appear with cryptic message would you like to reboot ? WE simply closed the blue screen down as we were not running the windows front end and kept working. I wanted to write an app that said , system has crashed would you lie to try a different operating system , where they click it and it reboots into Openstep but Apple figured that out as well. Awesome stuff ! Jobs was not happy about havig to use Windows but it paid the bills until the merger manifested jit.

Than you appreciate that , Steve was the worlds best product spokesman IMHO.

31:10 the live call ! Reminds me of the Starbucks in later days...
Using Windows 95 must have been an incredibly demoralizing experience for Steve.

For anyone watching this: the keynote starts at 3:45
Thank you , I'm the guy that posted it and that intro music was driving me nuts lol. Note to self keynote starts at 3:45 , Steve was running late.
@@robblessinI like the intro. It shows NeXT to be a world focused organization.
