I'll counter a few points I've seen - hard disks are now cheap, but they were expensive. There were A600HDs and A1200HDs, but IIRC they were £150 more expensive in the UK. Commodore's biggest failure was marketing, and marketing a hard disk should have been pretty easy. They could have continued to sell non-HD versions but people would be so convinced to go for the HD version that the non-HD version ought to have become a rarety. They should also have told developers say a year or two in advance that they intend to push HD Amigas strongly and they want developer support.
Whoever suggested 256-colour icons in WB3.1 should perhaps try running a 256-colour WB on a stock A1200. IIRC it really is sluggish even on the lowest resolutions.
AGA was a big disappointment, agreed. The successor to OCS/ECS should have given comparitively eye-popping graphics/animation and make people and developers want to upgrade to it. Instead, users didn't see anything compelling about the A1200 and developers saw it as a safer bet to continue to develop for A500s.
I disagree about computer + keyboard all-in-ones - I think that they are potentially marketable even today, though upgradability is a big question. However, manufacturers nowadays always seem to want to cram a PSU in there as well, which ends up being a wimpy one that dies in 2 years.
