Yes we were, and it seems a history lesson *was needed* after all:



An early version of MorphOS was first released to the public in September 2000.

An early version of OS4 was first released to the public in May 2004. Almost *four full years* behind, and by then MorphOS had reached version 1.4 or something like that.

The ones who have been here the longest, is the Amiga users (the left column in the picture), who has been here the whole time.


This diagram is a bit misleading in that it seems to imply that AROS is a derivative of 3.1, MorphOS is a derivative of 3.5 and OS4 is a derivative of 3.9. I'm pretty sure the MorphOS developers have always stated that there's no actual 3.x code in their OS, likewise AROS is a ground-up reimplementation. As far as I recall, there was probably more 3.1 source used as the original foundation of OS4 than any of the later ones.
