Actually, Apple gives you the option of BUYING Unix for your Mac.  The Mac OS is
free.  However, Unix, because it is larger and more  powerful, comes at a
cost from Apple.  Unix is free on the NeXT.

Unix is not something forced upon a NeXT user.  It is something that
gives more power to the NeXT user.  One could just as well argue that the
Mac OS is forced upon the Mac user, unless he wants to shell out some
dough for A/UX.
