As far as I understood the Amiga product line will have custom cases with embossed Amiga logos. From the website I see that windows, ubuntu and Aros are in the talks as OS, or may there will be a multiple boot option.

I just think, this won't be the "Commodore Amiga" that you (and anybody else who has any nostalgic feelings for the name) want to see. I'd love to hear what BigBenTheAussie has to say about this. What will the final product look like? I imagine a run-of-the-mill Standard PC, in a standard PC case, with some Linux Distro and AROS as a choice to boot up. If they really have solid plans for a genuine Commodore Amiga that lives up to the name, I am interested to hear about it.
Have you actually read the press release... How many times did they write Linux, PC in it?
I'd be actually quite happy with a customized linux distro on higher specced machines since AROS cannot support the full might of the x86 architecture just yet.

I also think it will be interesting to 'hear' BigBenTheAussie.
Well, I like retro stuff, but mostly I want to get back the spirit that was in the 80s.
