Which Amiga OS Is Used Most...

[Karlos]

I pretty much use them all from 3.1 upwards at the moment. Currently, I'm using 4.1 most, but it's not a statistically accurate reflection of my usage.

[Karlos]

I use 2.04 on my A600. But 99% of the time I use MorphOS, but neither that nor AROS were on the poll.

Yeah, noticed that. Perhaps the poll should have been entitled "Which version of AmigaOS do you use the most?" since that's what it appears to be asking. As it stands, I'm sure it's excluding a decent wedge of users here.

[Karlos]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - there's no reason for an OS3.9 setup to be more bloated than a 3.1 setup. You just have to tweak it a little, just like you do with 3.1 anyways. I run 3.9 on whatever I have, including Minimig where I really have to be carefull about what parts of OS3.9 I use, and revert to 3.5, 3.1 and aminet to fill in the gaps that are not 68000 compatible (like C:Makedir - what on earth could be 020+ optimized in C:Makedir?)

Probably a compiler-generated addressing mode, 32-bit multiplication or something like that.

[Karlos]

I voted 3.9 in the end. Although it's not in most use right now it is certainly the one I use most over an extended period of time.

@Franko

As a moderator, I can add MorphOS and AROS as options to the poll (since you've only used 8 of the 10 possible options), if you wish. It's your poll/thread, so your choice.

[Karlos]

Might be a wee bit too late now as the polls closed and I'd probably get more flack from folk who wanted to vote that way in the first place and who then chose something else...

It's nay bother, the poll can be extended to remain open for however long it needs. Can also fix that OS2.4 faux pas

[Karlos]

Options added, also noted that 2.1 was missing. Perhaps 1.x, 2.x would suffice as the first options as they are clearly a minority either way.

Right dudes, go for your lives...

@tone007

Don't take this the wrong way, but has anybody ever told you that you look a bit like Seth Green?

[Karlos]

@itix

Piru voted for 3.1, but it's probably a fair assumption that you both use MorphOS more. Just mentally subtract 1 from 1.3 and 1 more from 3.1 and add them to the MorphOS option

If you do that, it doesn't change 3.9 as first place, in fact, it increases it's lead over 3.1

[Karlos]

So whose great idea was it to modify the poll anyway? Well done, you made a mess out of it.

That'd be me actually

I figured it wasn't such a big deal anyway. Does anybody take these things that seriously?

[Karlos]

Well im guessing Piru might given his vested interest in MorphOS. The poll does make it look like very few poeple are using MorphOS.

Seriously, I doubt anybody really cares that much. Aside from the people that complained at the start, which is why the additional options were added. It's an ad-hoc poll on a forum, not a piece of market research. It was never going to be genuinely indicative of anything anyway.

Even if we moved all the known MOS users that have voted for other versions to the MorphOS column, 3.9 would still be far and away in the lead.

[Karlos]

Ok, for all those people that are bothered that the poll was changed to include options they may have otherwise voted for and wish to have their votes recast, I have 2 options:

1) I make the poll anonymous so the inconsistency between names and counts is abrogated, users send me a PM to say what they would have voted for and I reassign their votes accordingly. It isn't voting in a new president, so a Bush style Florida vote remix is fine by me :lol:

2) I close the thread and open a new one with all the options already available and you can all cast your votes again.

Take your pick.

[Karlos]

I didn't bother to vote until there was an AROS option, since I use (or rather test) AROS far more than the other options

This is exactly what I would have done, under the same circumstances.

[Karlos]

This is a different poll, but I'm not allowed to change my vote with the new options added. (In case you didn't notice, the new options are not Amiga OS)

See post 128.

[Karlos]

Ok, two votes have been recounted, consequently the poll is now also anonymous.

Anybody else? Send me a PM...
