Depends largely on CommodoreUSA's actions. If they do it right, they could win the majority of the market. But like I already said, they biggest concern and goal would be getting in new users, not "stealing" old ones.

PPC Amiga obviously, by the reactions on this forum, has a market for itself. The only question is for how long? Not saying because of the competition, but because of the PPC architecture.

If Commodore USA start supporting AROS financially (i.e. pay money to have work done on it), then the Amiga community wins. If they don't, nothing of value was lost, things will carry on as they were before. It doesn't really harm AmigaOS either. If it did it would have to be in the form of lost sales, but in reality how many people are going to stop saving for an X1000 or Sam now that these branded PCs have been announced? I'd imagine the number of people likely to change their mind is quite small, wouldn't you agree?

The non-hobby funds for upgrading their existing PC may go to Commodore-Amiga PC.
