Well, the comparison has been made here with VHS/Betamax... It's the marketing that wins these days, not the technology and this has been the case with the Wintel platform. Who even knows whta the hell Amiga is today, that is outside the Amiga community?
On the other hand the sheer power isn't everything - looka at Apple. Despite the processor's overestimated performance Photoshop and Quark XPress are more efficient on Apple than on a PC, more stable and reliable.
Amiga ghas to be made available to general public for a competitive/affordable price, and yes, it has been said here, with a decent SW bundle. I'm dying to swap my crappy PC for an Amiga, but I need some kind of an office package (how about: AmigaWorks - bundled, AmigaOffice - paid upgrade?) that can be localised (Unicode?) and will handle the standard data formats of today. Porting Mozilla shouldn't be that hard, and that already has everything I need... A bunch of bundled games would help the marketing too. And yes, an equivalent to Photoshop would be nice, thanks god PageStream is still around.
But - someone (Amiga Inc.) has to tell the ####in world - SO THE WORLD MAY KNOW and go and buy it - otherwise it will remain an expensive niche product forever or die after all anyhow...
