In any case, calling an x86 PC an Amiga would be an insult to everything the Amiga stands for so I'm hoping they'll use the name for something more noble than some rebadged PCs.
Also to name AmigaOne and X1000 Amiga in an insult to everything that was Amiga
if x86 pc is an insult, it is also a generic powerpc hardware..
Amiga today is only a software, an Operating system: OS3, OS4 and AmigaOS like :)
The Commodore name say something to people. It is a know name and known for great computers they made. Everything so called Amiga after them is not nice. There was a time Amiga was inventive. That was under Commodore. Now it is nothing.
Who cares what prosessor is used. X86 is the prosessor that is compatible with all OS systems. It is also the fastest and cheapest alternative for home marked last 10 years.
If they do this right they can do great things. I have belive in them. Most exiting news I seen in Amigaworld for years. Way to go CommodoreUSA.
I've never understood why some people wanted so badly to see the name Commodore placed back in front of Amiga, considering how detrimental Commodore as been for the Amiga. It's almost as bad as saying "Microsoft Amiga"
In any case, calling an x86 PC an Amiga would be an insult to everything the Amiga stands for so I'm hoping they'll use the name for something more noble than some rebadged PCs.
