Another waste of time thread. Stop talking about this so-called 'Commodore' and they will go away - continue talking about them only gives them fuel to continue.

After a little investigation even the so-called financial partner hasn't even filed their accounts on time since 2008 and I am no accountant, but I certainly don't see many zeroes in their accounts.

Without AmigaOS they can't truly be an Amiga thus the debate ends there.

Even if they snazzed up the website consumers aren't dumb they will see right through this or they will be left completely confused.

"Why are they showing me every OS under the sun? What operating system does this thing I actually come with?"

The operating environment in which the user operates is what identifies Workbench as Amiga in the much same way as Finder represents Mac.

There is no doubt in my mind that Hyperion-Entertainment and A-Eon will be questioning its legality and proceeding accordingly before, during and after the release of the real Amiga - the X1000.

Back in 1989, I don't recall "AmigaOS" label being advertised.

I remembered something like Amiga 500 from Commodore or Commodore-Amiga under 1000 bucks (AUD).
