Why do we care what/when they're shipping? They're just shifting other people's Windows/Linux PC's. They blew their chance at the only Amiga-like OS that'll run on their machine (AROS), so at best it'll bog standard machine with a copy of UAE.

There are so many interesting things going on in the Amiga market - concentrate on them, not on a PC which someone has cynically slapped a "Commodore Amiga" badge on.

AROS is a free OS, but the development on it is limited by the amount of people. Unless the AROS people happen to write the drivers for their hardware, they won't be able to package it with AROS.

They had a really good chance for something special until they blew it so spectacularly with the AROS camp.
