Again???
 
I see alot of the reverse.  Other companies are trying to catch up to
Commodore in the video market, the multimedia market (in terms of hardware
delivery), and will soon be trying to catch up to C= in UNIX.
 
While Commodore may be a little late in releasing their video board, you can't
ignore the work of third party developers.  There are a ton of 24bit (and near
24bit) devices either available now, or will be soon.
 
Apple wasn't even close to being the first to come out with a 24bit display
card for the Mac.  You can thank the Mac's third party for its lead today, not
Apple.  If Commodore were to never come out with a board, but released a good
rtg.library, I'd make no difference to me.  
 
IBM's best offering is XGA...it's 24bit market is solely held by its third
party as well.
