This must be very exciting for him, and I'm glad for that. I have been a professional software developer for more than 30 years, and I remember the Commodore brand very well as a child. I only feel nostalgia for the brand, and that's it. As a computing platform, it is unusable and borderline nightmarish by today's standards. Even as a hobbyist platform, there are more modern options.
I'll be very curious to see what comes of this, but if they will just be releasing flavors of MorphOS on x86 hardware, or c64 clones, I'll probably pass.
I hope I'm wrong, but I need more than 'I love Commodore so much, I bought it.'
