We have a fixed number of MorphOS registrations. This is number is not a guess at all.
The fixed number of registrations is not a guess, but the interpretation of how many users there are based on these registration numbers is. If you want to improve the accuracy of your information, follow my previous advice:
"go back to whomever handles the MorphOS registrations and ask them how many serial keys have been sent out through unique email addresses."
We also have a fixed number of Timberwolf downloads, no guess at all there either.
Yes, again we do have numbers of Timberwolf downloads. Again, the guess is in how these numbers are interpreted to find out something else.
coming with a possible result of solve the terrible browser situation on the OS4 platform
Terrible browser situation? What are you talking about! Do you even know what MUI-OWB is? I'll give you a clue, it's very similar to a browser you know on MorphOS. Are you now saying OWB is a bad browser?
And unlike what you are saying, this is *not* "guesses"
To use mathematical terms, what you can say is that MorphOS registrations are directly proportional to the number of MorphOS users. You can also say Timberwolf downloads are directly proportional to the number of OS4 users. However, to quantify the number of users, which you would need to do to make a direct comparison between OS4 users and MorphOS users (I'll leave AROS users out of this, as even you would probably admit 50 users was pure guesswork), you need to know the constant value that you multiply by to get the final value for users.
You've guessed 'divide by 2', that is the guess. You have no basis for choosing this number, it just 'feels' right to you. To get this number, you've used the assumptions that on average every MorphOS user has two MorphOS licenses, and you've also assumed that nearly every OS4 user has downloaded Timberwolf (twice).
I've already told you how you can improve the accuracy of the MorphOS user figures, so let's look at your OS4 assumptions. First of all, Timberwolf is still in beta and not all users want to mess with beta software, secondly not all OS4 users can run it, thirdly there is already a decent browser on OS4 that users have grown to like (MOS-OWB).
To give you another perspective, what are downloads for MPlayer on OS4 like? I'd say that's as good a gauge as Timberwolf downloads. According to OS4 Depot, the current version has been downloaded 1103 times:
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=video/play/mplayer.lhaSo why are there fewer downloads for the supposed 'holy grail' than for a media player? Perhaps Timberwolf downloads aren't as accurate a metric for total OS4 users as you'd like to make out, eh? Perhaps downloads aren't so useful a metric after all? Oh wait, I guess you'll blame this on reformatting, right, because that's such a common issue on the poorly coded OS4. :rolleyes:
As for your AROS user guess, let's not even go there, as you blatantly haven't got any chance of defending your analysis there.
With all that said, I hope you find time to understand this: I want MorphOS to do well. I benefit if MorphOS does well. If MorphOS does have double the number of users of OS4 and AROS combined, then find a way to prove it. If you can come up with better evidence, then I'll have to keep my mouth shut won't I? I never said it can't be true, all I'm getting you to do is hold yourself accountable to the stuff you say.
