One problem.  Its not compatible with the Macintosh.  That alone will
ring its death knell.  Remember, by the time Tramiel's machines make the
marketplace (IF they make it there), it will be late spring.  There will
be many hundreds, of not thousands of packages for the Macintosh.  There are
already hundreds of commercial packages, and thousands of public domain 
programs out there.  

Another important point.  Lotus is not going to re-write Jazz for Atari.
