I don't like getting involved in all this, but those against OS4 using MUi have a good point. If you followed the entire drama of this from the beginning OS4 wanted NOTHING to do with MUI. They stated it numerous time. MorphOS owes them nothing at all now. The fact they are scrambling to get it ported and working as well on OS4 just shows they were wrong in that.
On the other side, I HATE the damn bickering and fighting. I use all three versions now. I still agree that MOS is built much better, is more advanced and more "Amiga" like over the other, but having the teams compete is stupid and will get us nothing. Work together and help attract new users and developers.
The problem is elsewhere. This is an unauthorized branch using the same naming scheme. MUI 4.0 is a core piece of MorphOS. The bastardized and unauthorized clone on OS4 detracts from the real thing. The unethical behavior and the constant middle finger on that side is pathetic.
Compatibility is not the problem. If Zune ends up with a clean room implementation of MUI4 and keeps calling it Zune, there is no issue. That's not what happened here. We all know what happened here. I just wish there was the will and the means to litigate against these dirtbags.
