Alan Sugar's business model is a strongly conventional one, he will 
not appreciate many benefits of foss, and would probably find it is 
too hard to make money from foss. He will move into areas where money 
can be made easily. The foss rising tide will mean this may not be 
with computing. Particularly if foss is in competition.
