I havent seen any talk of the new commodore company here..

You didn't look very hard then.

For example:
BBC News article on Commodore mentions Amiga, Commodore are back...

Quote
i have been emailing the company asking whether they have any plans to support amiga OS.

You're wasting your time.

Quote
if there was a x86 OS5

But there isn't, and never will be (at least not from any current Amiga Inc).

Quote
they claim to deeply care about commodore's heritage, well they better back amiga then.

That's just ridiculous.

It's a regular PC, nothing more.

The closest "Amiga" on it will be is a) WinUAE b) AROS.

it may be a PC, but if they make some money, there may be a different story

Well, I disagree. I predict they will rip off people with expensive gaming rigs, and that's it. They're happy to mention the old systems, as it helps market their new stuff (just look at the amount of free press they've gotten). Obviously these guys have no connection with the original Commodore at all. It's just an attempt to cash in using the well known name.
