Not to be rude and playing devil's advocate here, but it's AW.net. Do you honestly think "most AW.net users" have anything POSITIVE to say about MorphOS? It's the anti-christ to the majority of them there. That statement is just DRIPPING with diatribe.
And not to be a dick, but we don't really see OS4 releasing numbers, do we? 
To also play devils advocate
, the statement wasn't put in the context of OS4 vs MorphOS. My own estimate is 700-1000 individual users, so a bald '1000 users' is probably on the optimistic side of realism.
He is also right about the cheap, plentiful hardware - I've made the same point myself on MZ. Cheap & available hardware are great things which lower barriers to entry, However if MorphOS team wants to increase numbers beyond the current small pool of remaining Amiga-fans, they still need to entice people to enter. That means some form of marketing (shudder) outside the community forums.
wrt the 'inactive users' point (and also zzd10h's strange comments) I'm sure there are some inactive users, but given that registrations only started in 2008 I doubt it's a large proportion - at least compared to the ~2004 userbase (when it was free) and commercially backed with kickass new hardware.
This red vs blue sh!t is getting old as f*ck............:evil:
It was born old.
