The point missing here is that of course you can beat Microsoft, as Palm,
QNX, Symbian, Microware and Wind Rivers will attest - even if Apple cannot.
If Amiga can beat Microsoft on the mobile phone market, the console market,
the PDA market, the set-top box market, the sub notebook market, the network
appliance market and the server market, I really can't see it being much of a
problem if they only acheive Mac-like penetration into the desktop OS market.
Cheers,
