NeXT’s OPENSTEP up and running on a MacBook Pro

“The reason I am a Mac user, and an avid one at that, is Steve Jobs. But not in the way you might think. Yes, he co-founded Apple and is the father of the Macintosh, but those aren’t what I’m speaking of. It’s Jobs work after his oust from Apple that has put me behind the Macintosh at which I now type. It was called NeXT,” an anonymous writer reports on Mac on Intel. “I have managed, tonight, to grab my OPENSTEP 4.2 CDs, beta 4 of Parallels Workstation software, and an OPENSTEP boot floppy from Apple and get OPENSTEP 4.2 installed on my 2.0GHz MacBook Pro. The install went with very few hitches, the system is very responsive (far more responsive than NEXTSTEP on my NeXT box), and thanks to OPENSTEP’s VESA drivers, the display runs at very high resolution and in true color.”
