To make it not "Amiga", you'd have to find a company who's making something
and just calling it "Amiga". Like Genesi.


Like Amiga Inc? (DE)

Sure, they're calling is MorphOS, but everyone knows what they're
really trying to do is to pretend to the throne.


Before we start discussing what's pretend and what's real, let's keep
in mind which OS has been available for years, and which has been due
"real soon" for years. Aside from that, there's only one OS "throne"
right now, and it's occupied by MS not "amiga".

They tried to get the Amiga name at one point, so one can only assume
that they were thinking of announcing that "MorphOS is now going to be
called AmigaOS".


No assumption necessary, from what we know Genesi wanted an additional
OS running on their hardware. Renaming the OS was never the intention
(and would actually be a poor decision from a marketing/sales perspective,
IMO).
