What the F***!

[AmigaNG]

You know what i love most about Wolftothemoon argument is that he keeps saying that No one would develop custom motherboard/hardware or carry on a dead OS development that would cost to much to do, would not be successful, its time to move on forget about that idea, its to costly and will never return the Amiga to former glory, well have you heard of a company called Hyperion and A-eon, they are trying exactly that.  
 

 Does it matter that they might not reach mass market, they might not be successful when you compare them to apple, or pc, or even linux markets. But they are trying their best to deliver what a next generation Amiga should be (to me any way).  
 

 We can all speculate what would of happened if Commodore kept going, but they didn't, what they left is their legacy, and that is what Amiga users around the world have been hacking, pushing, and expanding on over the past 20 years, and will continue to do so, they didn't come all that way just be told, “forget all that and buy a PC called Amiga, and as a treat a have a skinned linux dispro that looks like you antique OS, you crazy fools”.
 

 As for bitching about Amiga Inc not doing anything, I have to say I have a much higher respect for Amiga Inc after what commodoreusa has already said and done. At least Amiga Inc did support the community at the start, attended amiga shows, gave licences out, and actually tried to crate a new platform Amiga Anywhere, Bill McEwen must be kicking him self for seeing how easy it could have been to create this so called new Amiga.

Except C=USA doesn't care about Hyperion

Obviously they do, as they dropped Aros support due to the treat of legal action from them.

Except Hyperion has zero license agreements or trademarks with the name, "Workbench." Right now AI is battling Cloanto over their trademark name of, "Workbench." What does Hyperion have to do with it?

The whole bases of the case that Amiga Inc have got with Cloanto is that using the name Workbench will damage other Amiga related products, now if they dont mean AmigaOS, what do they mean?

Last Workbench released was 3.x. C=USA should be calling it Workbench4. Would that make you happier?

It be more correct, the only reason I can think they are using version 5 is to make it either seem to be more superior to AmigaOS4 or make it appear its it natural successor. Plus if it has no relation to the original AmigaOS or Workbench, why is it not just called Workbench 1, it is after all the first version of this new OS.

I see nothing on commodoreusa.net that looks like a banner from AO. If you are referring to Commodore-amiga.org, that is non C=USA's web site, that belongs to Terminills.

I agree on that one, but I still see a few things on the commodore site that I'm pretty sure they didn't get permission to use first.

Same can be said for Amigans.net, so what?

Nothing wrong with the Commodore-amiga.org site, its actually the best thing C=USA or its fans have done.

Nope, they never declared it was for Christmas 2010. Now I did read it was supposedly spread out over five years.

Thats still £6 million a year, so what did they spend it on in the first year, it cant be public relation.  :roflmao:. Did they support any Amiga show, event, developer, or any one in the community for its first year? (and don't say well they dont have a product to show, and they only just started business and only just got the rights etc etc, Aeon had only just started only just got something to show and yet still supported every major amiga event and sponsored competition and help developers.) will CommodoreUSA ever do anything like this, it would go a long way to convincing Amiga users and they would only have to spend 1% of there advertising budget, if even that. Just £50 donation towards any part of the amiga community I would be thankful from CommodoreUSA. (and again, this is not blackmail, trying to force the company to invest in an area of the market it has no interest in, but number 1. it would go along way to convincing people they do want to help the amiga community, 2. many other company in amiga world donate, even ageist their business, look at cloanto for example giving donation to make a legal free kickstart when its main business is selling these roms legally. Aeon/trever has donated and bought a lot from morphos and aros camps and he meant to be supporting OS4. 3. I think it would be seen as a good gesture from them. )

I am not expecting much out of C=USA

thats the best thing you've said!

look I maybe consider a troll when it come to C=USA threads and my opions on them, if they deliver everything they promised then maybe, just maybe I might do business with them and even support them, but so far a lot of promising, like they were going to support Aros, and their actions, like the ever changing Amiga fantasy case copyright text, treating legal action ageist Osnews, (hell even ageist me for my funny little youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlDagZX1vWI)  and saying thing like who gave wayne the right to the Amiga.org domain etc etc, lets just say there action to date have not really impressive me.

They threatened you with legal action?

Well original i did call the video CommodoreUSA, and used in the video the term "CommodoreUSA presents, " so maybe I did cross the line, which is why the video is no longer anything do with them but another company called FommodoreUK and any similarity are purely coincidence.   :rtfm:
