I think any serious candidate would have to employ a management style that let's the development team to flourish. In that respect both Microsoft and IBM have proven they can't handle it. Maybe Apple would, but it would look nice, be horrible expensive and perform like crap but be easy to use , dunno about Tandy.At the core seems to be capital, distribution, and management style.
I think by vertical integration he is referring to the Amiga being locked into its own technology. All the single components of the machine are tied into each other and cannot be separated which means if you wanted to update the machine you had to redesign and rebuild the entire machine and not single parts only which is very expense. I guess the IBM PC would have been horizontal meaning that every part of the machine was a separate entity and could be upgraded more easily. At least this is what i think is vertical/horizontal integration so don't quote me on this
