They're tied to the mafia and use the name to wash moeney...

or, less likely but also possible, after the bank management problems in various countries it shouldn't be a surprise for anyone that many investors are also badly informed, so AInc uses the Amiga name presence on the net to catch them, pretending they're doing something.

Good guestion, they've been in business for six or seven years and the only product I've seen from them are a handful of Amiga games for Windows Mobile or Windows, no alternative operating systems and certainly no Amiga products.

I think Red has made more money in ebay auctions over the last couple of months then Amiga Inc has made in their entire run.

Their web site & online shop are really sad. It shouldnt have the Amiga brand name on it at all.

According to Bill McE there was some sort of deal with Microsoft.


of course he'd lie and say that.  It makes it look like Amiga Inc actually has a revolutionary product that MS is afraid of.  As we all see, AI has nothing.

MS crushed the Amiga with Windows 95 as it was stated earlier.  I even was amazed with Windows95 when it came out.

If I was a gambling man, I'd take that bet.

After months of investigation, I have tracked down the real guy behind Amiga, Inc's business strategy. Here is a video clip of him detailing their business plan:

Do Amiga, Inc make money?!?  First I've heard of it ...

I suspect the company acts as a tax write-off for it's investors.  I don't see them doing much else ...

Windows 95 didn't crush the Amiga.  Commodore did with years of mismanagement and stagnation.

By printing their own money, Amiga Inc. started the financial crisis....



Bad joke ;-) This is not true! No way they could afford the printing ink needed to pull that one off.

For old school Amiga, the Minimig is around and a case to match is available. So actually, now is the time to rejoin and start checking the page on a more regular base ;-).
Get a SAM, while you can! The new AMIGA is here!

I suspect it is basically a money laundering business, they were quite active with press releases until they fell silent in February.  It's a good cover, a lot of people know the Amiga name, so they report 100s of millions of dollars in income the tax people would have no reason to question it and the money become legit...
