Regarding pricing policy of "OS4.1.7"

[danwood]

I think the complaint is more about having bought 4.1 and never using it, rather than paying for an update.

I must admit that I do fall into this category now, I did buy OS4.1 in 2008 and 4.0 before that, but I got a fair few years of use out of them and don't begrudge paying the price.  The only reason I stopped using OS4 was down to hardware failure, not a fault of the OS itself.

I still keep an eye on what happens with OS4 though and there are some interesting developments, I will likely buy a copy of FE Classic to try on UAE at least (or if I can find the time and motivation to try and get my A1XE running again).

Well, there are different approaches to how things are "called out".

Dan Wood and Epsilon covers all things Amiga, and Dan has said on several occations that he thinks MorphOS is better atm than AOS. Tbh, from what Ive seen I find it hard to argue with him on that point.
But he does so in a coherent, collected, systematic and sometimes even funny manner. Not coming off like a frothing ranter.

I dont see any reason to belittle other peoples choice of platform, nor the developers for them..

Well said Niding, if anything it's a miracle that the platforms are still here and being developed 20 years after Commodore's demise.  

I find them all interesting, and the Classic edition of 4.1 FE will give those who are curious an easy way to try it out at last for a cheap price.  Icaros 2.0 looks very impressive, I'll be trying that out soon, MorphOS continues to develop at an impressive pace and there's still some really cool hardware being made/in the pipeline for classics - it's a really good and exciting time to be an "Amigan"!
