The amiga was great back in 1988 to 1992, but from there after started a great decline. I think of it like this, proprietary mother board and cpu..., The pc market, you can get all kinds of software, just about anything you can think of, the pc has it, if you want it for the amiga, you have to beg developers to just consider it, then sit back and hold your breath and maybe, just maybe, you will see an amiga port. for me the added cost of just being able to say, "Yeah I have an AmigaOne" does not do a damn thing for me when there is no real software, I'm not really in love with the giant over head that windows has, but todays pc's can handle it without any struggle at a fraction of the cost.
REMEMBER, ITS NOT JUST THE OPERATING SYSTEM THAT MAKES A COMPUTER FUN AND PRODUCTIVE, ITS THE LEVEL AND AMOUNT OF SOFTWARE AVAILABLE
NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO LOOK TO AMINET FOR THEIR FIRST CHOICE OF SOFTWARE FOR A NEW SYSTEM.
ALSO IF YOU DONT LIKE WINDOWS XP, THERE IS ALWAYS WINDOWS 2000 PROFESSIONAL, (TO ME THE BEST OS MS HAS COME OUT WITH, ROCK SOLID)
TO ALL THAT STATE YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS 2000 PRO, MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER, BOX IT UP AND BRING IT BACK TO THE STORE FOR EXCHANGE WITH A FISHER PRICE SPEAK AND SPELL OR SOMETHING
