Good points by all. However, we can't assume that 'might makes right'. Because a company is very large doesn't always mean that all of their marketing (and general business) decisions are correct. Remember IBM and Dos (Bill Gates does ). Or, how about GM and Ford and Chrysler....oh yeah, and Toyota and Honda. Sometimes, product success is a fleeting thing. Let's hope Yamaha doesn't ending up having to sell off it's motorcycle division to keep it's 61 key arrangers afloat .
