I can't believe I am going to write a postive commodore USA post but I am...

I am SURE there are more reasons why commodore USA is right on this move even if amigans won't admit it, but these are the first I thought of.

Sadly, because we all know the facts of Linux (and some of use it) on x86 and AmigaNGs. To get that right: if this was kind of lower specs mass produced shipped with Ubuntu thing to get the cheap and usable x86 systems (like e.g. one laptop per child project was) would be first to go for it. If it was a push for more indivdiuals and companies to use Linux, too.

But to abuse Commodore and Amiga name, history and OS values, to sell higher priced x86 computers with changed Linux is an equal insult to AmigaOS AND LINUX

CUSA. I can take them or leave them, mostly I like how they irritate certain people in the OS4 community. But wow, for somebody to feel so threatened by CUSA that they put the domain into the site censor list is really pathetic. Seriously, this is one of the saddest things I've ever seen on any site, ever.

Very good defence mechanism against their constant idea to promote themselves as "Commodore" and "Amiga"

As you've noted it's a good business model.
I don't like Steve Jobs, I dislike his brainwashed fanatics and products but kudos to Apple for clearly getting it right.


Judge the company and the products, not the CEO. OSX is just Linux, Android is just Linux, IE is just Mosaic, a number of car makes have Volkswagen engines... it's certainly not something to get pissy about and needs to be put in perspective.

So far CUSA produced poorely cooled C64x case for $350

Other "inventions" are all 3rd party (Ubuntu, generic x86 boards)

About COS when its out

@digitex

What about COS2, will it still be something other than Linux and is there any time scale for the arrival of that?

Cheers

Waiting for Barry The Messiah (At AW.net dubbed Baron Vladimir Harkonnen) to decide what OS they gonna rip next time. Sorry, base CommodoreOS on
