This logic is just plain wrong - and surprising coming from a Sage of Amiga lore. I've heard this many times before. That "next generation" Amiga's aren't really Amiga's simply because they are so different from the classics. Or because it shares components with 'evil' PCs.
Another arguement is next generations amigas are not amigas because they cannot be legally called Amigas
A-EON can legally use the AmigaOne name, and they can also be legality advertised as AmigaOS compatible, as Hyperion has the rights to use the AmigaOS name.
Amiga Inc / Commodore USA / and co has the right to Amiga sticker they can put on brad toaster and vacuum cleaners if they like.
