*shakes head in disbelief*

I may have misunderstood here but it seems Hyperion and A-Eon have invested significant money developing both new Amiga OS and hardware (X1000) only for Commodore USA to 'reunite the Commodore and Amiga brands', slap a sticker on some generic PC hardware and (at least in the eyes of the public) make OS4.x and the X1000 seem insignificant compared to the legitimate 'Commodore Amiga'.

This seems very underhanded and I thought trademark disputes had been resolved, ultimately preventing this sort of thing.  If the 'Amiga' trademark wasn't included in previous settlements then I guess Amiga Inc & Commodore USA have every right to do this regardless of the detrimental affect to the Amiga world.

I sincerely hope this doesn't detract from the X1000 launch.  Things are confusing enough as it is with Aros/MorphOS/AmigaOS & PPC/x86 divisions in the Amiga world.  This can only add to the confusion - especially where the press and general public are concerned :(

This does not bode well :(

I have the money now waiting for it, but this just brings uncertainty.


You've hit the nail on the head.  I have no idea what the other poster waas ranting about :s

Uncertainty in a market that currently requires confidence to succeed (the X1000) could be a disaster.  I really do hope this isn't the case and most people aren't disuaded from from their purcahses of X1000's, SAM's etc.
