Eh. The difference here is that those companies all beat Microsoft to the
respective markets, in some cases well before Microsoft even had any
interest in them. And while CE and Embedded NT haven't exactly caught on
like a house afire, they have generated an awful lot of interest in the
early going.
So, those guys all beat Microsoft to the market, in some cases before
Microsoft even cared about the market in the first place. But since the
first generation of the Schindler Plan and right on through to the
present, the general theory of Amiga development has been "We will beat
Microsoft in those markets it currently covets most dearly and is trying
most aggressively to capture." I believe you listed them quite succinctly,
in fact.
So, fine, we can leave Microsoft out of it for the time being, but I
nominate you to explain how BFCCI will beat Palm, QNX, Symbian, Microware,
and Wind River at their respective games. After all, if they can beat
Microsoft as you say, they must be awfully crafty...
