I'll repeat that THERE WAS NO WINNING STRATEGY. There is no winning strategy today to bring Amiga back. There is no way Amiga could catch up with Apple or MS, and catching up isn't good enough to generate customer, you have to really excel. Where is Amiga going to do that?
Nah there were lots of winning strategies.
You think no company has come from nothing in the time Amiga Inc. was dying?
If they had gone for the ULP (Ultra low power) laptop, along the lines of the One-Laptop-per-child kinda thing, they would have been in very good standing right now. Every man and his dog is making a new one. Elonex, OLPX, Intel, Asus etc. etc.
Think about some of the great ideas that came out during that period any of which could have saved Amiga: MP3, Wireless, tablet PC, multi-touch screens, haptics (force feedback) etc.
The problem is Amiga Inc. just didnt have the cash to do hardware and they were money grabbing, penny pinching b-stards.
