The only advantage AmigaINC have is the Amiga name. The fields flat, and I see Pegasos as the winner. Simply because I can surf to find out whats going on.

IF history can be use as a guidance, Amiga Inc has the history at it’s side i.e. OS/2 Warp made to the general market before Windows 95 and OS/2 still lost the war.
Many other reasons why IBM’s OS/2 Warp lost the Win95/OS2 war is the fact that IBM doesn’t have “Microsoft Windows” branding and name. Generally, most users will run MS Apps on MS OS.
Most users see “Microsoft Windows 95” as the real successor of “Microsoft Windows 3.11”, due to the name and branding factors.
Personally, my HW selections will be dictated largely by price.

This statement is only half true. Windows won over OS2 simply by better marketing, and office. When OS2 came along it had nowhere near the backing windows had. By that time people where already becoming entrenched into Office.
Now apart from the name, and a cheap motherboard (Herahh!), what does Amiga Inc have? Officialness and that counts for everything (contradiction there I know, I'm agreeing with you). How long have we waited? About 8 long years. For all we know MorphOS is just another Phase 5, leading us down a dead end.
