Individual, individuals. Doesn't matter.
It matters. I can easily slam down Piru's or TMHG "facts", but when bunch of erudite MOS fans start talking that I don't need XYZ in AmigaOS 4 and it wasn't good feature to have it at first place, I lose interest pretty fast and move on.
The same with the registrations and downloads comparisons of them.
They call me AmigaOS 4 fan, and they would believe that I was one of the first that downloaded Timberwolf, so I am counted in their "statistics". WRONG. I downloaded the browser the second week after it's release, simply because OWB and IBrowse are working good enough for me and I didn't had the time to test yet another browser that is pretty much still in beta version.
Do you believe that every AmigaOS 4 user on earth (including those who don't use their Amigas for browsing) downloaded it?
The serial number of registrations is also a pure fallacy to count on it for statistics. What happens to the serial when a person transfers his license to new machine (after proving the old broke)?
What about the people with three-four-five licenses? The ones who were unable to transfer their licenses? Are they counted 1-2-3-4 times?
I have originals (disks and CDs) of the following AmigaOS versions:
1.2, 1.3, 2.04, 3.0, 3.1, 3.5, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1
How do you count me in the statistics?
As classic, NG or whatever user?
I use classic Amiga software every day on my AmigaOS 4.
There are too many variables in the amount of
active users calculation that would make the "statistics" not statistics at all, but pure speculation and fabrication.
