What the F***!

I don't think we can make much judgment on these guys until they actually ship something. At least they've finally gone quiet and stopped stealing artwork and qoutes for the time being.

It's a (new)start... one made necessary because of the outdated-ness of the original AmigaOS and it's derivatives and legal hassles surrounding it.

I would be against C=USA doing anything with MorphOS, AOS4 or AROS. That would be bound to fail from the beginning.

Nobody will ever know what would had happened if Commodore had survived. Your starting to lose credibility by saying stuff like this.

Amiga OS architecture is a dead end. Face it. Had Commodore survived, there would be none of the original Amiga OS architecture today. End of story. C=USA could have just used Windows with their computers. The easy way. Instead, they're going with all the trouble of creating something custom, if only slightly, at the beggining. And no... it's not being sold as AmigaOS. The naming is not yet set in stone.

No matter how hard debates go on this thread - the sole truth has been posted by Cammy...

That's it - Either accept it or reject it...

I certainly would not buy that, but that's me!... And 90% of true/sad/nostalgic/misaligned/whatever Amiga users...

Yea, pissing off the Amiga people is no big deal since we are a pretty small group and very few of us will probably buy their product. On the other hand sending that letter to OSnews was a really really bad business move.

Agreed. Worse though was their "cease and desist" letter to OSNews, at least in terms of broader public opinion.

Although I must admit I did laugh hard at the reaction it generated in some of the comments, especially the dissection of the letter's origin.

That's what I was thinking. desktop PC's are an almost dead market these days. retro looking desktop PC's are not going to go anywhere either. PC's are being replaced by Phones & Tablets now.

AmigaOS is a Hobby OS to many folks that visit here. I'm not sure why This Wolf guy keeps talking down to us like where not aware of the modern world?

PC market is stagnant, and so is PC gaming. Except for FPS and WoW what do you play that can't be played on a console or even a phone?

You seem to think that the young teen posting on Digg are the majority of PC buying market. Things have changed. You are 10 years too late in the PC game. Even game review show like Reviews on the Run spend more time these days talking about iPhone/iPad games than PC games. Also the Wii, Sony Move and the new XBox system are bringing new customer who aren't interested in sitting in front of a PC in a dark basement all days exploding heads or melting faces.
