2. Why?

Because my home PC is primarily a gaming machine, but also runs WinUAE and other programs.  I should say that Amiga OS3.9 is my SECOND most used OS (even though it's emulated) and Windows 98 is a necessity at work (spit).  XP isn't bad, but I find my home machine requires endless tweaking and fiddling about to run at peak efficiency.  Amiga OS is simpler to maintain by comparison.

3. Are you conidering switching to a different OS?

Considering?  Why not?

I like the thought of running OS4 on one of those microATX Amiga One systems, but expense may count against it despite the fact that Amiga is pretty much my favorite OS to use.  Unfortunately, Win XP / 98 is a prerequisite for work so something other than MS is simply not a realistic proposition for my profession.  I'd like to try AROS too, just to see if it's a viable way of keeping the Amiga "feel" alive on a modern machine at a low cost.
