Let's see now...

   Apollo's got a conservative business outlook on things like GNU software...

   Sun, and MacIntosh seem to have a non-conservative business strategy...

   Sun and MacIntosh both seem to have been doing better than their competition
   in their respective markets...

Do you suppose it's because the hardware's got an extra MHz on the clock?
Or perhaps do these conservative "don't get involved with it" business
directions seem to be hurting those who apply them?
