Too much effort, lol.  Since that law firm is involved, I'm going to take a wild guess and say it still hasn't been sold yet.

It's Amigo OS. male.  Amiga OS is female.  Maybe they should get together and produce some offspring.

First, Amiga and Amigo are two different words so there is no likelihood for confusion.  The Amiga is a retro operating system, that no one in consumer technology space knows even exists anymore except for us few.


You sure? Try typing "Amigo OS" into Google... Google's sure you meant "AmigaOS." Google seems to be confused. ;)

So if my nick was RobertJDöhnert there would be no likelihood for confusion? After all they are two different words.

AmigaOS 1.x and 2.x are retro, arguably 3.x is too, but certainly not 4.x. And I think there is considerable awareness of the Amiga brand; Amino's business is based on the Amiga name which is their only real asset, and a lawsuit was fought over the AmigaOS trademark so it must have some value. Plus this phone company must think it has some value or they wouldn't be bothering to rip it off.

There seems to only need to be a perceived link to brand usage.  Eg: bskyb and skydrive.

Single-core aware only/32-bit only OSes are decidedly "retro".

Also your use of the phrase "ripping them off" is adorable.

Only if you're a tech junkie. Lots of people are still using 32-bit systems, and there's still a good number of P4s out in the field, only about half of which have SMT.

Retro would be painting something that was once was socially the norm.  IMNSHO, "irrelevant" would be a far better description then "retro."

Windows 7 Starter, that came preinstalled on my brand new netbook less than a year ago, is a retro OS then!?
