Aos 3 -> aos 4

Why are OS4 users so defensive?

Counter reaction to the offensive MOS users maybe ?
Hearing for a thousands time that you must be out of your mind enjoying running OS4.x on this uber expensive hardware becomes tiring you know...
At this point I think everybody knows and made up their mind and we even know the proponents and opponents of MOS and OS4. It's time to stop trying to change other's people mind on this.

Or that when OS3.X users examine PPC OS', they frequently choose MorphOS (over OS4)?

It's true that there is a very vocal number of MOS proponents here on amiga.org. But does is represent the majority of the amiga community ?
If you look at both the 'the way forward' poll as for 'the everyday OS' poll OS4.x comes ahead of MOS.
It's only by a small margin though but I don't think it supports the conclusion that only insane, retro zealots are using OS4 and the rest is using MOS (and I am sure these numbers will now change).

You probably know I have now a MOS MAC machine at home (and I am very gratefull to you for that BTW). So now I also follow MorphZone and with all the talk here on amiga.org I expected a bruising community there. After some weeks I don't have any prove that the MOS community is more bruising than the OS4 community (I also follow amigaworld.net).
