If you are going to sell to a bunch of ~200 tech nerds "an insanely overpriced piece of unproven HW with 2007 level performance and features nobody really needs, wants and even knows what it is for, bundled with an incomplete, feature lacking and rather unstable take on what Amiga OS was about", then NO!

Or you could say, selling a 111Euro incomplete, feature lacking and slightly unstable take on what Amiga OS could be with MUI on old out dated second hand macs hardware systems, then  NO!

Just saying :)
---------------------------------
Does the name matter?
YES, proof of how strong the brand is just becuase CommodoreOS was named Workbench 5 it got a lot more of intrest and since its change its name I've not seen as much discussion on the matter.

What makes a machine amiga?
Well to me it certainly not just the Brand name, it different things to different people, but the most important thing to me is that it must be still fun to use and the 'amiga' community is part of it.

Is anything post CBM amiga?
The only real Amiga is the prototype Amiga Lorriane, after that it was a Commodore Amiga, then Escom Amiga, Gateway Amiga, Amino Amiga, C=USA Amiga, IContains Amiga, Hyperion Amiga, each one had their own vision of what the Amiga should be, becuase Commodore Amiga was the one that launch Amiga and the only successful Amiga and the one we all know, a large part of the community will only every see them as Amiga. I think had a Commodore Amiga with HP Risk and the other stuff they where going to bring had been relased there would be no question that it was an Amiga, had the AmigaMCC came out I think a lot of people would of felt that was Amiga, if AmigaDE/Anywhere took off that might of been considered Amiga, but at the end of the day I think for me whats made me stay is more the community than any one product, AmigaN's and the Amiga ride/story is just too fun to get off now and I'm glad I'm still here, because if it was just about Multimedia, Multitasking and pushing the OS forward I think we should of all been talking about BeOS by now.

Hmmm, my MorphOS box is pretty stable. And for incomplete, what are you referring to exactly?.*The last time i heard about os4 it didn't had usb 2.0 yet.

Actually, my Powermac has proven more  stable than my Windows boxes running MorphOS. And we certainly have a  more complete OS then AOS4.

Well compare to modern platform we are all behind the times and to be honest I only wrote that to wind up takemehomegrandma as his comments where only designed to wind up OS4 users

Just returning the favor. :)
