@Im>bE:
I know it's popular to blame Microsoft for the demise of the Amiga, but at the time CBM imploded, MS didn't have anything that could compare to even a lowly A500. I know, because we had computers running Windows 3.11 at university at the time it all went down, and I remember thinking, "man, I don't want to have to use these things, they totally suck!". If CBM had lasted longer, I have no doubts there would've been some epic showdown, but as it is, CBM killed the Amiga - mostly by bad advertising. 90% of people I talked to didn't want amigas because they were "games machines" and they wanted a "serious computer". There's only one place they could've gotten that idea: CBM's marketing department. Then there was the corporate monkey business, which eventually sunk the entire company.
