However, Hans' statement is interesting. These features that were to be in 4.2 will have already been paid for by X1000 buyers who have pre paid for 4.2?
I kind of thought that too. I think the X1000 users should be given the choice if they want to support by paying 30€ or not. The same with the HD Radeon drivers IMO. And then get a huge "thank you for your extra support" in the credit list or something.

I'm a dedicated MorphOS user myself and I used to have a huge grudge against AmigaOS 4 because of my previous bad experience with my AmigaOne 500 and the response I got because of it's short comings (spring 2012). I'm over that now. I've found my home and I'm happy there. Others have found there home with AmigaOS 4 and are happy there.
AmigaOS 3.9 and before, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS are all
hobby os'es. A hobby is something you do for fun, plain and simple. Let people have their fun in peace. As long as people have a chance to try out all the alternatives you can't fault them for choosing "the other camp".
That said, I think there should be more cooperation between the camps. Not between the different development teams (competition is good. Or at least inevitable) but between third party software developers. More multi-platform support of your programs. Don't stick to one platform! This could IMO turn this never ending flame war fest into one camp once again where the choice between an AmigaOS 4 machine and a MorphOS or AROS machine doesn't feel any different than if you chose a A600 with WB 2.05 or an A1200 with WB 3.1. Different flavours, same family.
And damn the self-righteous! I got better things to do with my machine than hating away
