I tried Linux, more than once. I'm very unsatisfied. different fily set-up, okay. Different commands, okay expectable, besides they're about the same as Unix, so doubly useful. Linux won't boot right though, I've tried many times, it hates my computer. (admittedly its not the most well organized computer ever though.... on the hardware side because I put it so much free/old stuff in it).
Windows does really stupid things with allowing so much bloody adware/un allowed downloads (security even though I use outlook :oops: , *runs behind his firewall* )
Windows Xp can load very quickly, especially if you don't let programs load when Windows start, which depsite what Windows says is Not centralized, nor easy. /usr well thats bad its very old legacy for some old programs that use it (why not let the programs make it when they do need it eh?)
Basically, Linux is unfriendly, very hard to learn, very hard to get running.
Windows is easy to learn (well to a certain point, then it equalizes, but that point is 10% of the osftware's capabilities and 90% of what I do) and windows is 'friendly' it's easier to install, just click yes. Windows falls down when it comes to elegant programming or stability or good use for a power user (as its so bulky).
I hope that OS 5.0 will be user friendly and still elegant. Also, the A1s seem to be in a Very good price range that should help Amiga. Now if only they made a 2 Ghz 2500$ computer, the G3's probably wouldn't even run Xp. :-D
