I don't think that is what ferrels is getting at. He means that the X1000 won't take over and compete against the PC and Windows in the mainstream.

He's right - it won't. It's just for our little niche - but that is a given.

compete with PCs in the office and in the home.

It depends on your personal preferences and use cases. Believe it or not, all my Amigas (incl. Pegasos and SAMs) won that competition against the standard PC I own(ed). This is btw the reason I "used" a Pentium III Windows XP notebook 'til 2009 - now I have an Atom netbook. Sufficient for the only real world use case I have for this - it's one application for my income tax, which doesn't exist in the Amiga world. That's it. And, no, I don't need medication, I don't even drink alcohol.


you make use of drugs then! There has to be something!

Jokes aside, I agree. It's similar here too, except I use Macs and rarely WinXP on VMWare for my old mobile phone software which does not work on 7.

And adding to, even talking about office use it depends on what your needs are. A friend of mine owns 4 stores (www.s) and everything he needs is on an old Windows98 monster box.
I had a look at it and it would be totally interchangeable with e.g. a Sam440. Indeed he is very sympathetic to the idea of buying one as soon as the noisy and power-hungry box gives its last..cycle.
