For me Amiga its more  than just the OS. Amiga is the Hardware too, you know, Customs Chips, keyboards, PSU split on/off switch, CPU cases designs, and all that stuffs.

Anyway about OS, Real Multitasking system, stereo sound, funny icons, "Guru Meditation" error messages, flicker in high resolution modes, and more Amiga features.

For now i dont fell the new "Amigas" as "real real" Amigas.

Simply put. It's a computer that runs AmigaOS natively.

Without the Amiga operating system there would be no Amiga computer :-)



but with this philosophy. What makes a PC a PC?  MS DOS / Windows, or Linux, Solaris, or any other OS or the Hardware?.

Becouse i hear many people said somethings like "... yeah i have a PC Running Ubuntu Linux..". or ".. my PC have a brand new Windows 7!..."

You know, for any Amiga Makes an Amiga.. its the Hardware too.. more than just the OS..
