I agree with stopthegap on this one.
The m$ OS has grown more and more sluggish during the years, only if you can afford to always upgrade to your hardware you may not notice so much.
I think many people use their PCs just to read mail and browse the internet, occasionally use an office product or play a game. My opinion is that they have thrown to much into the OS and to be pre-loaded at startup, instead of providing just a user interface and let the programs start when the user calls for them. Most users never need all the functionality in the "modern OS" like XP.
I prefer to turn off the machine every day after using, cause its rather noisy and is in the living room, and doesnt have a suspend mode. Ok its a rather old PC, but still least 100 times faster than my A4000 was when looking at the specs - but it sure doesnt feel that way.
Just to open a File Explorer window feels like it takes forever sometimes, makes me wonder what the heck is going on inside the box...
If the Amiga could keep up with the web and the file standards commonly used today it would be my number one choice for everyday use. Sadly today it doesnt...
Are you really comparing the functionality of the 15 year old Amiga OS to a modern OS like Windows XP?
Yes. Please tell me what great advances micro$oft has bequeathed the world of computing these last 15 years?.....
