The *OTHER* big company that the LPF doesn't like is Lotus, but right now, you have Steve Jobs and NeXT climbing into bed with them and giving out free copies of Improv to everyone who buys a NeXT before Dec. 31. Richard Stallman has encouraged everyone to *NOT* buy a NeXT until this promotion is stopped and then tell NeXT why you waited. Note, I am not sure whether I agree or disagree with LPF vis a vis Apple and Lotus, but anyone who is preaching NeXT as the new gospel of the LPF needs to look at the facts a little more. Anyway, for more info, check out comp.sys.next. I think the thread dealing with this isssue is still floating around there.
