It's a massive insult, imagine how Mac owners would react in the same situation, some pc clone maker starts making "Macs" and shoving Windows 7 on them.
Macs ARE PCs today...
Many people have argued before in this forum that PPC is dead and the best thing we could get for a modern day Amiga is a x86. I've been a PPC enthusiast, and I have to admit that x86 today is the thing to go.
Macs are Unix based. This does not seems to insult Mac users. Actually, I've heard lots of people arguing that anything before OS X is unusable (I disagree...)
I would buy a Commodore USA Amiga, because today, my main Amiga is UAE. I still use my A1200 from times to times, but since most software requires an accelerator board, my A1200 is not capable of doing it.
So, I think it is quite strange that people find out sometimes that we need to go x86 and leave PPC, and all that criticism that CUSA got. If they launch an Unix based WB5, it is going the same way Apple did. If it performs nice, and feels "enough Amiga" I will buy it.
I won't expect miracles from super-duper extremely overpriced, underpowered PPC boards.
Those days are gone. If you want a true Commodore product, go to EBay and buy an original Amiga. Everything else is not Commodore. It might be a good product, it might come from a true C= enthusiast company, but it is as C= as anything else
I will give those guys a chance, because it seems the most reasonable attempt to revive the Amiga that I've seem in a decade. I appreciate what they are doing as much as I do appreciate AROS and Natami and Minimigs.
