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.
