Anyone noticed Commodore USA's "Amiga" mockup?

It even has "A" keys and appears to be running a modern AmigaOS...!

Here we go again. . .

It's not new for 2010, or 2009 or 2008 or 2007, etc.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Apologies I'm new to Amiga.org - I had searched commodore usa prior to posting but hadn't seen the other old post.

Shame, I read theregister article earlier and had considered them for a new themed PC. Glad I signed up here first - I guess el reg seems to be spot on about flying by the seat of their pants...

As someone who's been outside the Amiga bubble for 13 or so years it seems to me that the future lies mainly in game systems like the C64 joystick type devices, the Minimig (for classic computer use low power profile computing) and the upcoming X1000, and possibly... possibly AROS once its software and driver base expands - it's competing IMHO with the likes of Linux and Ubuntu in particular however. This  is me just being subjective - obviously you're entitled to your own view

I don't think companies like this will be more than a flash in the pan and they probably detract from larger annoucements as "yeah just more vapourware or niche machinery". Certainly alienating the core fan base isn't going to help you as a company or with publicity when the reason you've licensed the trademark is to bring those and Commodore fans on board.
