I'd like to see a Commodore PC-64 with perhaps a GEOS-themed 'C=Buntu' Linux distro on it. That would count as reasonably interesting, although I'd only buy it if it were competitively priced and if I was already planning to upgrade. And I'd like to believe that a mutually beneficial solution that grants Hyperion, ACube and A-Eon additional Amiga brands while allowing Commodore to market x86 games machines and keyboardised Minimigs as Commodore-Amigas could be possible. Imagine a range of enthusiast-oriented 'Power-Amigas' from ACube and A-Eon marketed by Commodore alongside their range of games PCs...

But the more that is discovered about them, the less I would personally like to be in business with them. I can't help but feel that if Hyperion were to get involved with them, they'd find themselves back in court defending their trademarks from CommodoreUSA attempting to rebrand a random Linux as AmigaOS...

I don't think CommodoreUSA would use Hyperion's "AmigaOS" (TM) .
