Some people want the real Amiga so they can run real Amiga software on real Amiga hardware. OS4 doesn't bring any of that to the table.

Still other reasons include not wanting to associate with developers who want the user community to die in a fire (Rigo for example). That sort of thing.

Then I just have to ask, if you're not interested why do you bother writing so many replys to anything I say?


commodorejohn will have to answer for himself, but I'm going to bet it has something to do with the questions you posed in your first post:

I'd like to know why people using AOS 3 doesn't jump on the AOS 4 train? What is holding you back exactly?



Look, the fact is most Amiga users don't consider OS4 to be Amiga. Amiga-like, sure, nobody is questioning that; IMO OS4 is just as Amiga-like as AROS or MorphOS. Surely you've seen the multitude of reasons why people don't want or like OS4 posted over the years. It's not as if people haven't heard about or even tried OS4, if they wanted to use it they'd be using it by now - it's been what, 7 years since it was "released"? The problem with OS4 is two-fold: Hyperion has pissed off a lot of people, and though OS4 is Amiga-like it's still not as good as a real Amiga and has shortcomings when compared to the alternatives.

OS4 has a long way to go towards acceptance. In fact it's been so long struggling with acceptance that it's very reasonable to believe that it will never be accepted beyond the microscopic sub-community which has accepted it since the mid double-Zs. If you're happy with OS4, then great! That's your own problem. The problem though isn't with the majority who don't feel it's as good as any of the alternatives.

I hope this helps the next time you're fiddling around with Workbench settings or playing with some Linux port and start feeling evangelical.
