But you are guessing about that. You could visit #morphos on ArcNet and ask the other core developers whether they agree with Zapek's action, if you really want to know. That doesn't mean that Genesi are right claiming "it's all David's fault", but you probably will find that not many people wanted him to take this action, at least not so aggressively.

I -- for one -- think it's completely stupid and will never understand why people supporting either "side" have drawn such a wide line between themselves and refuse to accept that both platforms are virtually identical.

Thank you. I was begining to think I was the only one who thought this.

That's a very easy judgement if made from the other end of the screen of a Windows XP box. Certainly people who don't care about either platform and never intend to use them will have the least insight into their differences. Although you Wilse are in a good position to see the actual physical differences right up close, which I'm a little envious about.

Personally, I believe that, while MOS and OS4 are similar in what they want to bring to users, they differ radically in implementation, developer support, aims, approaches, look and feel, and even the make-up of their userbases. I won't elaborate on how they differ because I have no intention of being called a liar or a troll for stating my opinion in such a - let's say, contentious - thread, and it's OT anyway. But I think they're different enough that one simply couldn't jump from one to the other and not see a difference.
