I recently heard a rumor that I would like confirmed if possible.
I don't think what actually happened during that time will ever be publically known. There were several rumblings that MS were unhappy with Gateway playing with Linux as part of their Amiga experiment. It wouldn't been the first time that MS had leaned on a company. But, whether or not it actually happened, is something I couldn't tell you.
The other main (more probable) explanation was that Gateway simply baulked at the kind of investment Jim Collas was asking for.
