@WolfToTheMoon No-one is forcing you to buy an X1000. There is always the cheaper Sam460 (or even a Sam440), if you want to run Amiga OS4...
... but of course YOU don't want to run OS4, so arguing with you is kind of silly. A bit like arguing with someone who comes to a Mac forum and says Windows PCs are cheaper & better.... (Or someone who on a PS3 forum says Xbox360 is cheaper & better...)

"Commodore is taking the easy and smart way. They plan to have a replica of the world's best selling personal computer of all times ready by this Christmas. Imagine how many people will feel nostalgia and since it's holiday season they(C=) stand a much better chance of enjoying a good sales. "
Rippin/raping the name for their own use.
"Hyperion(and all of the others before them) had the option of doing this very same thing and decided not to. Tough luck. "
Name raping with money making and producing real Amiga experience for the community are totally different kind of things.
Hyperion cares for the later, you seem to care for the first. So you love also Bill Gates businesses because they made $$$?
UPDATE.... After reading to the end of the thread ... what a waste. Positive to see C= interest on Amiga. I'll wait & see if it delivers something for AmigalikeOS fans. Other than that, kick me if I enter this thread again.
... Imagine how many people will feel nostalgia ...

This is all possible because they are using x86 and proven software.
What "proven software"? I'm not up to date regarding AROS - do they have any software at all, that runs under AROS on x86? What software does AROS have? Will software titles like DynaCadd, MaxonCad, NewIo, LogicalWorkbench, Cycas and the like run with AROS on x86?

The only thing needed is a custom case.
??? I thought Commodore just have a licence to sell AIOs as Amigas? So what "custom case" are you dreaming of?

This alone should make you think...
