Who could Commodore join forces with in order to combat inovations that might be forthcoming from the Apple/IBM alliance? It is foolish for me to name names (that's a bit like fantasy baseball trades, IMHO), but there are plenty of companies who will be negatively impacted by the alliance; everyone from PC makers not in on the deal (Compaq, Dell, HP, etc.), minicomputer makers who could use Amiga's vision of a desktop metaphor to run across a larger range of computers as IBM's OfficeVision promised (DEC, Prime, etc), to Japanese companies who want to license an operating system with an installed base of programs and not look like an MSDOS clone (Take your pick…). Apple has run around making alliances and agreements with so many companies, I'm surprised the lawyers and management didn't mess up and announce a marketing agreement with themselves… 🙂 Over the flight pattern… – via Whap!
