There seems to be a lot of this going around.

Company X happens to have bought the Amiga trademark and call themselves 'Amiga Inc.', and thus all our custom per default belong to them. Give it to me hard and long! Buy a PocketPC!

That's just achingly stupid.

The Amiga market is too small to support competing options.

Too damn right, but if either Genesi or AInc would only aim their business at us, and fight over us, the sad remnants of a former market, then they bloody well deserve what they've got coming - failure. "Oh yeah, let's (re-)make a platform, but we'll see to it that it's got no chance of ever reaching more than some of its current couple of thousand users!" Too bad that the platforms would be sucked down the drain together with their parent companies. I'm sad to see that this is exactly where AInc seems to be taking AmigaOS. Row, row, row, gently down memory lane, to some quick rent money from our only product - licensed nostalgia.  Hello Mr Hardware Maker, would you kindly pay us this measly license fee to provide some artificial respiration for a minority of luddite fanatics?

There's plenty of room for growth.


Exactly.

Instead, I focused on "what would sell MorphOS to other people?"  ...  appealing to a broader base, to expand our community beyond it's niche.


If only another company could get that through its evicted head. :)

Or rather ask the question "what would sell [my product] to more people?", i.e. attracting both old and new customers.
