Interesting. I can't seem to find if it is using a proprietary OS or windows.

Dale,
This is what I found,
The New Commodore 64 Is Fun!
Commodore USA's custom Linux distribution, called Commodore OS Vision, comes pre-installed on the C64x which will allow you to play all your favorite 8-bit era Commodore games with a single click.
It even has the option to boot right into the original C64's full screen READY prompt (left), where you can also launch classic games.
Commodore OS Vision also allows you to boot straight into the included XMBC Media Center allowing you to use the C64x as a home theater system.
A Computer for Work or for Play
Don't forget that the new Commodore 64 is a fully functional PC compatible, so you can even install and use the latest versions of Windows if you really feel you need to. We provide a beautiful graphical boot menu at start up from which Windows can be selected to run, so you needn't lose any of the functionality of the new C64's included operating systems. Commodore OS Vision comes with the WINE compatibility layer pre-installed which is capable of running some Windows software. VirtualBox is also included with Commodore OS Vision, allowing you to install Windows and run Windows software on same screen as Commodore OS Vision seamlessly merging their windows and visual components on the same screen.

Thanks Mike
This is what I had read, but couldn't find anything from Commodore.
(I did adore my 64)

Ouch! That's near to twice the price of a Mac mini for a slightly faster machine with no OS X. Not my taste, but if it floats your boat feel free.
I do advise careful use of the a word. It tends to call down parachuting fanatics in much the same way as aul Rand.
