Which Amiga OS Is Used Most...

[Piru]

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

No it really isn't the same thing. The original poll was about AmigaOS. The option for MorphOS and AROS were added later on. I really wonder what use is a poll that has options added after the fact? The poll result is now useless as there is no way of see only the results before and after the new options.

The correct way to handle situation like this would be to have a new vote with title "Which Amigoid OS is Used Most", and to have the correct options to begin with.

Even then, it would likely get dismissed by most who already voted in the first poll ("didn't I already vote in that poll?").

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?

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

Well... my vote would need to be changed as well, so subtract one more from 3.1 and add one to 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.

Still... I don't really appreciate to have my vote in a poll I didn't vote for.

I personally couldn't give a mutts nuts

Sounds like someone voted just for the hell of it, even though their ideal option wasn't listed!

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

[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.

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

To be honest I had difficulty choosing between 1.3 and 3.0... I use both so infrequently now

[save2600]

3.1 mainly here. Really enjoy its speed compared to 3.9, although like Cammy, I do have a 3.9 partition I rarely use on my 25mhz 030 machine. 1.3 on the A1000 and 3.1 on both the A2000 and A3000.

I'd like to get MorphOS back on a real machine (a nice Mac for instance). Had the Efika and it was "fun" for a few minutes, but its RAM limitation kept me from taking the machine seriously at all.

I didnt bother voting until new options were added.  Why would you ?

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)

Ditto, I voted for MorphOS when it was added as it's what I'm currently using the most due to having two old Macs to put it on.

Now that AROS 68k is getting some long deserved loving if I was asked the same question in a couple of weeks my answer might be different.
