Take the following as truth: This restraint may partly reflect Microsoft's market strategy--after all, Microsoft beat Apple partly because Apple did practice vertical foreclosure, and as a result inhibited the development of complementary software (although the main problem was Apple's persistent belief, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that everyone would be willing to pay a premium price for a niftier machine).
Then the following statement: "Apple's stubbornness in the face of evidence cost them a fortune." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
