One of the main motivating factors in our decision to buy some NeXT computers in our department was the combined price/performance factor considering that Mathematica was bundled (and hence upgrades, etc would be forthcoming). Without the bundling and considering that we have many SUNS in our department, we would have gone to SUNS (which already have Mathematica) and used the network. I would suggest that the relevant people tell this to Jobs. We are a University account, so take this for what it's worth.
