Perhaps I was a little generic in that statement. My personal experience was
that Olympus UK failed to acknowledge, let alone respond to, any
communication in regard to an E-1 > Zuiko adapter, effectively leaving me no
upgrade path. I found information on the Kindai EOS > Zuiko adapter and
Olympus UK lost a long time loyal customer who REALLY REALLY wanted an E-1.
Yep, it's a crazy reason for me to dump Olympus as I need AF and no Zuiko
adapter is of any real use to me (well, ISO1600 and f16 mostly works) but
Olympus UK decided to ignore me so..........

I agree generally with what you say, but think this part is a bad rap on
Oly. They didn't abandon OMs on purpose. They screwed up big time with
the switch to AF, both with performance and reliability. As a result,
they lost a lot of money and had to sit out the 35mm AF SLR market. It
seems fair to knock them for engineering and manufacturing blunders, but
they didn't do it on purpose just so they could abandon their OM user base.
