It would be sick if the new ownership drives a whole alternative ecosystem to Windows/Mac, perhaps with a very user friendly Linux distribution and nice peripherals and other hardware to go with it. Maybe even a phone and private cloud service!

Go ahead Commodore, upend the market with a focus on privacy and the retro vibe without making it cheesy.

Oh man, and based on my favorite distro.
