"Simply because those on aw.net deserve it" is a really bad generalisation. Even the thread you linked to has plenty of people making the point that Troika have shown nothing of value... just picking out some quotes from that very thread (and quite a few are from regular AW.net posters):

"Just sorting out that license issue and writing a driver for the Kryptos, right?" (hatschi, 628 posts)

"More carrot dangling. Why not just release your so-called existing product instead of making silly remarks. you are about as reliable as a ashtray is on a moterbike."

"Are you blind or what? Troika has not shown us that a board actually exists. For a company what has shown us piss all, they do have a nice fan base." (OldTimeUser, 33 posts)

"Words, just words..." (Pentrite, 203 posts)

"If by 'good times', you mean the release of your board, why haven't we seen any pictures or anything yet? Actions please, not words." (Me, 1350 posts)

"I think more people would wait quietly and more happy if you just gave us a project status update, so that we have some estimate on how long we might have to wait.
Also it would be nice with some proof that this project even exist, so even a photo of a prototype board would help alot. I myself is very skeptical, since we have been let down by false promises so many many times in the past." (Tomas, 497 posts)

"Yawn......" (Wol, 425 posts)

"If you have something show it, otherwise go away. I'm just tired of false promises and waiting for nothing." (_TheCrow, 182 posts)

... and so on and so forth. Frankly I'm sick of generalisations about AW.nets membership.

To make you feel better, the majority deserve it.

If you think that the majority of the several thousand strong userbase of AmigaWorld.net believe every piece of hype shoveled at them by companies like Amiga, Inc. then you yourself are blindly believing the words of the few naysayers, based on the posting habits of a few hopelessly optimistic members. You're the sheep, not the majority of AW users.

OS4 is frozen

Actually, work continues on OS4 on a daily basis. Just because there is no way to buy it *right now* doesn't mean everything is frozen. Admittedly, I can only say that because I happen to be in a priveliged position, and I know you won't take my word for everything, but that is the truth of the matter.

The way i see it is the people who never purchased an Amigaone board have had a very lucky escape.

Actually, I feel pretty lucky that I got my AmigaOne when they were available, and I wouldn't sell it for any amount of money... unless something else did arrive that ran OS4.
