[AmigaNG]

Looks like due to the recent Settlement between Amiga Inc and Cloanto
http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91183272&pty=OPP

CommodoreUSA is no longer using Workbench 5 as the name. Once again proving that C=USA using names before they checked weather they could use it.
http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_OS.aspx

From the forum:-
"Well, as you may have realised we were never firm on the name of our Commodore OS. So Commodore OS it is.
Clearly the Commodore brand is stronger than the Amiga brand.
It is definitely stronger than the Workbench name also.
It probably didn't make much sense as the name of the OS on the C64x and we were thinking of calling that Commodore OS anyway.
Our initial thoughts were to go with Commodore OS, well before we got the Amiga trademark licensed.
I am greatly relieved at the outcome actually, as the Workbench name gave rise to an immense amount of fanciful expectations of what our OS will be. "

Now I'm just wondering does this mean Cloanto now could use the name? Amiga Forever renamed Workbench 5

Who actually own Workbench name and who can use it?

It's debatable as to who to address that email to.

The brave Iranian people overthrew their Imperial Puppet Dictator in 1979.

Remind us how long the Chetniks put up with Bolshevik rule for?

Nicholas, aren't you late for a revolution some where?

So there, how professional / smart is this x-satellite hustler? Sets out, uses some trademark name that's not his, gets shot down. So what, keep moving, these dummies will buy anything. - That's what he thinks of us.

The second (and long over due) American Revolution could learn a lot from the Islamic Revolution. Take your country back my friend!

Anyone who buys something from him really is a dummy!

Certainly there needs to be a Zoo forum for you and Metalman (where is the old pig ? ) to spit your selfish and anti-democratic slime in and on each other. This thread reads "Workbench 5 renamed Commodore OS" doesn't it ?!

[klx300r]

well it's a small step in the right direction & this will make amigans less sour about their PC's with Linux skins

I love how they try to spin their loss to their favor. They sound just like my kids:

"Well fine, you boobyhead! I never wanted that name in the first place. You can have your stupid name. Commodore OS is a way better name anyway. That's was I was going to use anyway. I just said Workbench 5 'cause I... um... I... well.. just to bug you. 'Cause you're a boobyhead! Now leave me alone so I can go sulk in the corner."

Commodore OS is the name currently but it is subject to change.
