I can't argue with personal opinion, and on a more general
level it's subjective anyway.

I have to say I think this is misguided. With MS working
constantly on IE, Mozilla on Firefox, and now Google on
Chrome, I can't see a platform which has a negligible number
of serious users - let alone developers - producing
something competitive.

That may be so, but my issue remains: how on earth is OS4
ever going to attract the number of users required to make
it viable? Having a hardcore of Amiga users who know that
"more MHz" isn't necessarily better, is simply not enough.
