Read a few pages and got bored rather quickly.

C=USA is clearly trying to de-rail A-Eon's/Hyperion's attempt to bring a new computer running AmigaOS.  Simple as that.

Its obvious... consider the facts.

1) They are calling their linux distribution Workbench.  If C=USA do go ahead and actually bring something to market Hyperion will sue and C=USA will lose.

2) They are calling this distribution version 5.  When it should be version 1; clearly set to confuse the consumer into thinking 'ooo cool this must be a long overdue update to version Workbench 3 I remember back in the day.'  This is a clearly a case of viral marketing.

3) Imagery.  Using images without permission, making banner look like A.org etc.  Using images that are not appropriate to the products they are licensed to sell.

4) External forum site that can easily be disassociated from/with the C=USA website when it goes tits up.  Leaving these 'C=USA' fans disillusioned.

6) $30 million TV marketing campaign for Christmas 2010... which never happened.
