Apple and Microsoft settled their GUI lawsuit of Mac vs. Windows with the investment of non-voting stock from Microsoft and the license of the Mac GUI by Microsoft.

The Amiga had bad management that tried to milk the same cow instead of innovate a new chipset to compete with everyone else. It seems like there is a curse on the Amiga for its companies.

Jay Miner dying in 94 didn't help.

True but they had the schematics of Jay Miner's chips. Apple Mac and Windows PC passed Amiga sound and video standards and a new chipset was needed to compete with them.

In fact they were working on a new chipset when Commodore went bankrupt. Had they started earlier on it, it might have saved the company, that and the Commodore 65.
