Amiga Future #86 is a great issue and I recommend getting it. In a interview with Petro Tyschtschenko he answered one question very interesting.
Question: AmigaMMC's abrupt end and the dismissal of Jim Collas were a big surprise to many and hard to understand. Do you know what made Gateway take this step?
PT: I think Microsoft wasn't so innocent in the whole matter. Gateway was a PC producer and co-operated closely with Microsoft. Microsoft definitely didn't want to have a new platform as competition.
