I'd love to see Commodore make a comeback. I always wondered why AmigaOS was never really pushed forward to get it on a par with Linux. The current(?) AmigaOS seems like it needs some loving

AmigaOS has been a zombie for quite some time now, and I don't think it will make a comeback soon.
Why would anyone want a multitasking Windowed GUI that fits in 512k memory, when there's Windows 10 and OSX?

Yeah, it's been pretty much killed stone dead. It's a shame though as I liked AmigaOS v1.2/1.3 - I always thought it was way ahead of Windows at that time.

Sorry, but no they're not. It's just some half-arsed, over-sized, landfill Android phone with the "Commodore" name and a baked in emulator.

The Commodores are coming back?

Both were caught by the automated spam detector, and had to wait for a human to check before they could appear. And both had to be approved to avoid you getting a "spammer" kick.
I deleted the "spare".

It might be dandy if the spam-filter is no longer applied to "everyone"

Being confronted by their API every day, I wonder how they could be a favourite.

Well, their documentations are not the best in the world; however, being confronted by APIs for other engineering firms makes it my favorite.

If you are working with Revit, then that is a gross understatement.

It may be different for other Autodesk-products, but the Revit-API is ever-changing and causes a huge amount of class- and namespace-name clashes.

How can I answer this? It's so open, and how do I define favourite?
If we talk about my most enjoyed piece of technology I would probably go with my PS4, so that's Sony.
If I consider why favourite programming environment I will go with C# and .Net, which would be Microsoft.
If I search for which company is my favourite I would use Google.
If I recall some of my all-time favourite insults and jokes, that's at Apple fans... so I would choose Google again.
And what if I like my mobile phone, do I thanks Google for the OS or Samsung for putting their name on the hardware???
Thanks for making my Monday even more painful

I just find prime so damn useful because I have no patience when I want new toys. I do like my Kindle too.

...that there is a connection between the question and the companies in the list?
How Amazon and Tesla can be compared? And what Yahoo! and Oracle have in common?
Part of the list has nothing to do with technology (in a sense of methods to produce something) and others are from so far areas of technology that a multiselect should be enabled...

The question isn't "compare". The question is "what's your favourite" and there's a "other" box for those who wish to exercise their right to choose any company they wish.
FWIW I threw Tesla in there to make it clear that people could choose companies that aren't specifically software.

These are all hardware/software* companies. Do they still call that 'technology'? Are these not too commonplace to be called so?
As against something like space, etc.

I'm assuming everyone who votes Apple will be kicked from the forum at the end of the week?

Isn't Apple a marketing company and Google an advertising company?

Possibly and very likely.

Obviously.
