You know wwhat I find funny?

lots of hardcore Amiga fanatics here, saying how crap the x86 is becasue of Legacy support, and how crap Windows is because of Legacy support (yeah, Windows does suffer there)... and Why are these very same people buying into OS4 and MOS?

Because of Legacy support :-D

I hope these people now see how important it is to the IT industry to have backwards compatibility.
