Yes unfortunately it will require a lot more than crossed fingers. It would probably require the complete liquidation of Microsoft, Apple, HP, Compaq, Dell, AMD and Intel.
Ah well.
Nope, it's no longer an us vs them computer industry. Look at Porsche's SUV, the Cayenne. It's been around since 2003 and has still sold less than 300,000 units. But it's Porsche's best selling product and saved the company. Sure it sells for way more than the X-1000 will, but it also costs way more to build.
The A1 X-1000 can create a nice little niche for itself and do well. It just needs more developers and software once it's out.
