- Last I checked, Apple had somewhere around 5-10% of the home
- computer market. That means 90+% of the home computer market
- can't run Apple-compiled software, even if they'd like to. With
- Executor, that little stumbling block disappears.

- If only 1 in 1000 x86 machine owners decides the licensing fee
- for Executor is preferable to buying a Mac, ARDI stands to make
- bank. (Apple as well, since they'll get an increased market for
- their software...and it's not like I was going to buy a Mac
- anytime soon anyway, so they oughtta be glad of Executor's
- existence.)

- Everybody wins, including Linux users who really dig the thought
- of running binaries compiled for any platform...and it _will_
- happen.
