I haven't watched this clip, but according to his interview on the programme that was on last night, he admits that he made a mistake not using Microsoft software on his Amstrads. He was of the opinion that he was making the hardware and shouldn't have to pay for something such as software. Funny how he once thought that, and now thinks differently. He thinks that it's too late to have another mainstream OS - clearly he hasn't been watching the trends (especially) in MacOS over the last 5 years, and more recently Linux gaining popularity on the desktop enviroment. But hey, would you trust someone's opinion that made that mistake then? After all Linux wasn't a viable option, and the arguably (IMO) better OS - Amiga Workbench was hardware specific - like Mac is today.
