How nice to see the thread go this way.  If you truely want to see OS4 fail, then, by all means, continue to have that elitist attitude towards MorphOS.

With attitudes of this nature, you succeed in doing nothing but ensuring that developers who may continue projects for both platforms decide not to.  I do not want to sound harsh, but every comment like that I hear (read) makes me want to request for all my contributions to the aminet be pulled.  They make me want to ask other developers to do the same.  They make me not want to pick up a copy of OS4 if given the chance.  

Yes, MorphOS users can be just as guilty of being elitists. "Hyperion didn't know what an Amiga was before 1999," or "Those Name-Bangers are only trying to rip off what was supposed to be the real next-gen Amiga," and other such comments are just as bad.  I think the person who started this thread was trying to help everyone understand that *we are* in this together, like it or not, and we should have some kind of minimal level of acceptance of one another.  Holier than thou attitudes does nothing but hurt both sides.

More flies are drawn with honey than vinegar, and you would do well to remember that.

Pegasos, A1, Router, and Envoy?

Sometime though, OS4 will be available.  Then, upon the next day, a yet to be determined user will say, "Hmmm..."

His eyes will light up, a grin shall form upon his lips, and he will make his way to the local computer store.  Lovingly, he will go to someone's webshop, and make a purchase.

Upon the delivery truck's travelling away from the user's home...  The user will know what must be done...

The user shall connect the Pegasos and A1 unto a router.  Following this, he shall install Envoy.  The glittering in his eyes creates the bast*rd troll...  The PURPLE troll!  All shall fear him!  His evil gaze!  His twisted reality!  His proclamation that only true Amigans have both on a network!  His evil laugh will fill the forums, when he realizes that his four port router will allow him to connect Amithlon and AROS to the network too...  

We should all be trembling now, as this scenario may be coming close to reality!  The wicked evil "All of the Above" troll will be coming to a forum near you!  Eeeek!
Regards,
Targhan

No, I wouldn't call AmiDelf a hypocrite at all.  If a person is "vocal," they are vocal.  If a person who is vocal changes their opinion on something, should their character also change?

While I can understand why you would think that of him, I just cannot see anyone becoming a different person based on a change in opinion.  Actually, I have a bit of respect for him posting an editorial on his own site explaining his change of heart.  Some people never do explain why they changed their mind on a given topic.
