All of these things are good and for the most part totally correct. Amiga should have been at least in the number two spot like the Mac is today. I would have to say the one thing above all others that killed the Amiga and let the PC move on was/is this:

C= didn’t licensee out the hardware to others allowing clones. That one thing has made the so many others building PCs and force prices to compete. It also let more then one company share the expense in development of new tech. When Apple let the Mac clones be built there were lines of developers just waiting to build them. Then they put an end to it. Remember BeOS? It was developed to be used on Mac clones and Mac like systems. This is what killed the Amiga.

A close second would be the lack of HIGH-end business applications. We came close several times, but our pals at C= messed it up every time. For those that have been in the Amiga world from the start I am sure you remember that Word Perfect was ported and released for the Amiga. At the time it was the leading word processor. If the AmigaOne is going to be successful the hardware needs to be open and we need to get some killer BUSINESS apps. The games will come later as they have on the Mac and PC.

And above all. The past is the past. If we all knew then what we do now, it would make us all rich!
