What bothers me much is all Amiga-negative people's love for Windows, I have 4 PC's, 3 of them running Windows and one running Linux. I must say Windows is really stable on all my computers, far more stable than my Amiga 4000 ever was, but the OS in itself is disguisting (yes even the NT variants). What have they done? It eats memory like nothing else, if you insert a piece of hardware and install the driver and the hardware still don't work, what can you do, fiddle with the BIOS a little but then you'
re f**cked. Who came up with the brilliant idea for the registry? The most stupid thing in a OS ever, and the registry is of course loaded into memory (atleast I think so) and every information in the registry is repeated 2 or more times.
And about Linux, I don't think Linux is hard, it's just annoying that lots of programs need to be compiled but that's getting better over time. It really takes long to set up a good working Linux workstation that behaves the way you want it to, but when you're done it was well worth it.
What I like about the Amiga is the simple structure of the OS, you know what almost every library on your computer does, since they have sensible names, you can clean up your ETC: directory manually or even assign it to a HD instead of RAM: every time. About software on the miggy, most software I want to use exists, you maybe don't get it bundled with the OS but I like that, I want to install the programs I use myself and not be forced to have Paint, Calc, IExplore, Notepad, Outlook Express and some useless Pinball game installed.
And why are people complaining about the AmigaONE board, the PPC is a great architecture, far better than the x86. X86 might be faster at the moment, but since the x86 is to be replaced soon by 64bit processors (they are, right?) and IBM is working hard on making the PPC better, I think PPC is the way to go.
The Amiga One maybe ain't that cheap but I don't think it's overpriced. It's the PC's that are underpriced.
And for what Amiga Inc. does I really doesn't care, if they screw the Amiga I either get a Pegasos or a Mac.
Hmm, I have never written so much in a post before, might be babbling and wrong in some statements, and sorry is my english bad :-D .
