The hype continues. Still not one shipping product, unless you count their cto who is the only known purchaser of one of their products.
 
So far :
 
Starting using commodore name before having legal permission to do so.
 
Launched a website before having legal permission to use the commodore name or trademarks.  
 
Starting using workbench name before having legal rights to do so.
 
copied and pasted apples website to their own site. (never admitted, but its been proven multiple times)

Ceo threatens to sue osnews.com for stating facts.
 
Ceo retracts legal threat after realizing what an asshole he is.
 
Lots of announced then cancelled new products.
 
First trashed, then embraced aros, then switched to using ubuntu with a commodore wallper.
 
New products being announced every month, but not one shipping yet.
 
commodore stickers slapped on cybernet zpc's. (only one sold) The guy that bought one is their new chief technical officer.
 
They announce a new Commodore/amiga OS :
Commodore wallpapers on ubuntu. (Calling it workbench V)
 
A new company shipping amiga branded computers before them.
 
Somehow I'm not feeling very positive about this commodore "revival".

At this point, I'm pretty sure it will be ubuntu with a commodore wallpaper.
 
Somehow, I'm not feeling very confident that they can accomplish anything other than renaming existing products.

All this talk is worthless. It will be ubuntu with a commodore wallpaper and theme. Thats about as innovative as you can expect from them.
 
Move along nothing to see here. We've all seen ubuntu. (snooze)
