The management at Commodore should take all of the blame for the fall of 
Commodore.  Developing killer new technology should have been top 
priority.  Hindsight being 20-20, they should have designed the OS with 
the highest possible degree of resource management (IE, not assume that 
all graphics would be 8-bit forever), and then opened up the hardware 
architecture and allowed clones.

As it was, some of the later CEOs did nothing more than collect their 
salaries.
