i meant, the first amigas "cheap" 500 had not a harddrive shipped, in
stead of coporate pcs

if they had, i think todays most companies in the world would have Amigas instead of PCs


I don't think that would have made much difference.  When the first Amiga 500's shipped (1988?) look at where the PC was.  MS-DOS4.0 came out that year.  There were quite a few low-end PCs that didn't ship with hard disks.  Heck, the hard drive was optional on the geniune IBM 8088 models, (which were being sold in 87, still, I believe!) and those things cost a few times what an Amiga 500 did.

If you want to say clueless management killed Amiga, I won't argue with you there, but I don't think it was at all a mistake having the A500 ship without hard drive.  The 2000 was aimed at businesses, and it had optional HD.  I don't think you could buy a 2500, 3000, 4000 without HD (unless you cut a deal with your local supplier/store).
