From Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Miner

>In the early 1980s, Jay, along with other Atari staffers, had become fed up with management and decamped. They set up another chipset project under a new company in Santa Clara, called Hi-Toro (later renamed to Amiga Corporation), where they could have creative freedom.



The original Amiga staffers were not pleased with Commodore's leadership after the buyout. Early versions of AmigaOS had an Easter egg where you could get it to display "We made the Amiga...and Commodore fucked it up!"

Later on it was quietly changed to "Commodore: A Tradition Of Excellence" or something along those lines.
