AmigaOS 4XX - MorphOS etc

[number6]

So it is subjective to some people then?
Sounds pretty subjective to me....

By your statements Windows is much better than MorphOS too, so why are you using it?

We're all here because we like using our chosen Amiga-like OS, and the reasoning for this choice is entirely subjective.

Remember, to the outside world, they can't understand why you're using MorphOS when they're using what are - on paper - much better OSes.

As I said, it is entirely up to the user which is "better", and that's subjective.

That's my final statement on the matter, not getting drawn into a futile war of words.

For anyone to survive and expand their horizons, I think they would be wise to focus on new users who are unfamiliar with anything Amiga.

^^That's where the discussion could be and that's where the comparisons could be drawn.

btw-Morphzone is having a discussion about this.
MorphOS promotion and support team

Survival depends on getting out of the existing community, not fighting for nor trading the dwindling users within it.

So slow performance is actually fast? A high price is actually low? A short feature list is actually longer than a long?

Of course you can *prefer* slower performance, higher prices, and shorter feature lists, etc, only because "it's teh reel!!1!!" (or for whatever other subjective reason). I know that, we see that daily here on Amiga.org and elsewhere. Then we are talking about subjective arguments as ground for your decisions, like feelings, emotions, etc. But that doesn't make objective arguments non-existent. It only makes them disregarded.



Of course, and I am one of them. But that doesn't mean that no objective arguments exists, or that you should discard them. As an example, my own reasons to use MorphOS instead of OS4 is:

1. Because MorphOS *does have* better performance, *it has* a lower price, *it has* a more extensive feature list, *it has* better Amiga compatibility, etc, of the two.
2. AND *my opinion* of the Hyperion crew is that they are a band of bandits, and *I feel* that being "official" is of no importance (and I even don't agree with that)

What's listed under point 1 was objective (and really can't be argued with, since it's all measurable), point 2 was subjective (and is argued all the time).

That's odd that on one hand you believe in objective vs subjective when comparing the operating systems, but when it comes to a court decision, which would be likely called factually objective by said court, you take the reverse stand and go with your *subjective* feelings. You don't see the basis of how you form your opinions as being contrary?
