You can register the trademark 'Microsoft Windows' just not 'Windows'.
In america, there is a company called 'Domino's Pizza'...that is perfectly legal, but they lost a suit to Domino's Sugar for calling themselves simply 'Domino's' one time too many times...(or routinely)...but they didn't change their name, they just remember to call themselves 'Domino's Pizza'.
anyway, they can call it the April chipset if they want, and if you develop chipsets, expect to use a different name, now if you are in the calendar business, don't get too upset, you'll be just fine.....
my personal take was this was a ploy to pretend they now have a 'custom' chipset, which BTW just shows how this company really knows their target audience, wherease Amiga, Inc. is still blind and clueless.
yes, its probably marketing silliness, but a lot of people (not all but enough) wanted a custom chipset, and the customer is always right.
Why can't people buy what they want? Heck if someone just needs a custom chipset for nostalgia reasons, that is no different, than hmmm getting a truck even if you don't really use the bed....let people get what they want for chrissakes....
you know what, and I don't think they're completely wrong...look at the consoles...its neat having the custom chipset for programmers to tweak more and more out of, years after they are getting long in the tooth....a computer, like a console, but is a real computer....wow, we could call it something like 'home computer'....wonder if that would have a market....
oops almost ranting now...anyway, buh bye.
