What is better in the computing world (for the Amiga name especialy) - A larger range of companies each producing hardware that can run Amiga OS (like the Windows PC model) or one company (the Apple model)?
Competiton between vendors can drive prices down, but it will also divide the market share, making it less attractive to new entrants.
Perhaps somewhere in the middle (also akin to the PC model in some areas) where a small number of companies produce hardware or a spec which is then licensed and built (and tweaked) by others - this is what happens with PC motherboard and component chipsets.
