Soooo funnny.   Yet another company ready to drag the Amiga name through the mud.  I would rather never see an Amiga branded product again than see these muppetts releasing Amiga branded Crap.

Not another lawsuit! Just what we all need, I don't think!
 
I have to say, I always found the naming of the AmigaOne X1000 rather clumsy. Surely if they had the right to the Amiga name, then they'd have called it "Amiga X1000"?
 
I'm not sure I can agree with Hyperion here. Has anyone looked closely at the settlement to see if this scenario is covered? From memory, I thought this scenario was a distinct possibility.

 
From memory Hyperion only won the right to use the AmigaONE name, hence the naming of the new X1000.
 
I am pretty sure they dont hold anyhting over the Amiga name, but there seems to be something in the agreement that prevents amiga Inc and commodore USA doing what they are doig as  they say its against the agreement.
 
I thought things had been too quiet with Poeple seeming to mainly be over the whole OS4/MorphOS argument and no lawsuit going on.
 
 
What no popcorn smiley anymore ?

Yes and this just shits all over all the hardwork putting together the hardware and getting new drivers written for imicas and ares.

But thinking about this, there might be a bit of revenge about this.

Hyperion kept on selling OS4 for other platforms etc until the court case was over.

Im guessing that Commode USA and Amiga INC will continue until things are cleared up.

I would be surprisde if Hyperion have got any grounds to stop this, but I hope to god that they do

Get ready to be inundated with AROS users running low cost PCs thanks to the name of the website.

The Amiga name was the only thing Bill really had he could sell, so I probably shouldn't be surprised.

Even his claim to that may not be that legitimate, but what it matter? He's just going to eliminate the last shred of respect left to the community and sh*t on it.


And what would be wrong with that.  That would be a good thing.

Bring on more AROS/MorphOS/AOS4 users.

They are all welcome here

You know.....dragging in family members is NOT cool.
 
It's just a funky retro computer!!!!


Was waiting for you to pop-up.
 
Its not a funky retro computer.  Its modern hardware.  What is retro about that.
 
You might be able to argue that its retro "looking" but they even had more style in 80's and 90's with regards to cases.

It's not ATI developing ATI drivers.

 
They were at one point or at least providing them.
 
They have moved a lot of their products into legacy which means no drivers and the older drviers do not work with the later  versions of X i believe
 
I know that I dont get proper drivers for my Dell 1501 laptop after about ubuntu 8.04 LTS
