Which Amiga OS Is Used Most...

[amigadave]

...
Sorry to the MorphOS and Aros folks for leaving them out, just that not being a fan or user of either they kinda slipped my mind...

It is not the first time you have neglected us and probably won't be the last, but your polls that do not include us have little meaning, since they leave out such a large percentage of the remaining Amiga community.

Also, it is very annoying that you repeat this pattern over and over again, just because of your personal preferences, which IIRC are for Classic Amiga computers only, yet you always seem to remember AmigaOS4.x, which is no more related to the old Classic Amiga hardware than MorphOS2.x is.  In fact, MorphOS has been around for longer than AmigaOS4.x and had a free version for Classic Amiga computers with Phase5 PowerUp boards many years ago (10 I believe is the correct number).

If you are going to create this endless progression of polls here at Amiga.org, please try to make an attempt to include ALL of the members here, or think about moving such exclusive polls to Amigan.net instead.

Edit:  Had I known that this thread was going to turn into an opinion of what members thought was the "Best" Amiga OS, or which Amiga OS does each voter use the most, instead of how it is literally worded "Which Amiga OS is used most?", I would boycot the poll completely, as the "best" Amiga OS IMHO, or the Amiga OS I use the most often, is not listed as one of the choices.  

To me, that question means which Amiga OS is used the most by everyone in the world.  Everyone is free to interpret it any way they like, but it lessens the validity of the result when people are voting with different perceptions of what the poll is asking.  I mean really, how can 15 voters really think that AmigaOS4.1 is used more than the other Classic AmigaOS choices, unless they are thinking that the question is only for each user in their own homes, or which they think is the best Amiga OS for them?

There is enough division of this community from the past, please do not perpetuate it further by excluding half of it from your polls, or insulting us with your personal opinions on what "IS" and "IS NOT" an Amiga OS.

The poll says AmigaOS..

[amigadave]

The poll says AmigaOS..

You mean like an OS that runs Amiga programs and games?

Of course you don't!  That would be beyond your ability to reason and see the benefits of keeping what is left of the Amiga community together, instead of continuing to preach division and conflict (and jealousy).

How very sad for you!

Another interesting question is: What OS did you use the most (total time since 1985).

To me this would be 1.3. I started with Kick&WB 1.2, but WB1.3 was already out when I got my RAM expansion. I didn´t upgrade to 2.04 until 1992 which makes it 5 years of daily usage for WB1.3. In 1995 I got my first LinuxPC and didn´t boot into Workbench that often anymore. So only 3 years for 2.04, 2.1 and 3.1 combined.

I am now in my second year of AmigaOS 4.1 and I hope it will be good for another three years. ;-)

@ amigadave

First off, I didn't deliberately neglect you or anyone else, read the thread and you shall see my answers to that already.

If you find it annoying then sorry but what my own personal preferences and choices are have nothing whatsoever to do with you. If you don't like what I have to say or take part in polls that I post then just ignore them or start your own polls that you would feel suit your personal choices & opinions better. No one is forcing you to take part in them and no one is forcing you to read my posts. If I see a poll that if feel doesn't include or have an interest for my own choices or preferences then I simply don't take part in it, I certainly don't go whining to the polls creator that they left me out.

There is an option on this site to block or ignore what a particular person posts so perhaps you should put me on that list as others have done, then anything I have to say will not cause offense or upset you.

If other members wish to express their opinions on what they think is the best OS version then that is their own free choice and I'm not complaining that they do so and I'm certainly not responsible for what other members may post.

As for insulting you with my own personal opinions then that really is just pathetic to be perfectly honest with you, I may not like what your opinions are but I don't go on a rant telling you so. If I really did have an issue with you about something you had to say then I would have the decency to PM you about it first. As you chose to take this course of action I am simply responding in kind in this case.

As for taking my 'exclusive polls' elsewhere, let me make this perfectly clear to you, I don't take kindly to someone whom I don't even know telling me what to do in public and in such an offensive manner as you have chosen to do here, so if you would be so kind in future to take up any issues you have with me by PM then I can assure you you will receive from me the reply you deserve.

As for why you have chosen to do this I have no idea, but I consider myself a very reasonable and carefree type of person so if you wish to discuss this further in a more civil manner then feel free to PM me, if not then so be it. I wont be putting you on my ignore list but shall read your future posts but choose not respond to them in any way if this is the kind of silly & childish attitude which you have displayed here is all you have to say in future.

Yours Sincerely

Frank Spiers

No I mean AmigaOS.

Oh Lordy!

Fuck up  :rolleyes:

OS3.9 is winning, woohoo!

[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.

[amiga92570]

I use them all depending what machine I use, but OS3.9 is used most often.

[klx300r]

1- OS4.1u2- Samflex
2- OS3.1, kick 3.1- A1200
3- OS1.3- A500

[redfox]

@Franko

Depends on how you look at the question.

Current usage ... I use OS4.1 the most.

If I look at this question as which Amiga OS did I use most since 1985:
1st place goes to OS 3.1 on my A2000HD
2nd place would probably go to OS 1.3, the original OS on my A2000HD
3nd place goes to OS 4.0 on my MicroA1
4rd place goes to OS 4.1 on my MicroA1

Never thought such a simple wee question could cause so much confusion or upset...

The way I meant the question to be was quite simply which amongst folk who answered the question is the OS system that you use on your Amiga the most.

Seems though it got a wee bit confused somewhere along the way, but you are asked when placing a poll to keep the title and options brief and are limited to 10 options. Now if the limit was raised to say around 200 options then I'm sure I could include everyone and their auntie in future polls...

(or maybe it's my Scottish accent that no-one can understand... :lol: )

[Templario]

OS 3.9 and OS 4.1

[Hammer]

Amikit/AmigaOS3.x. Lately, I tinker more towards IcAROS on real hardware (laptop).

[Karlos]

@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.
