I know Windoze Suck..but..

All these years and I thought Windoze was free..    :roll:

stop the madness, you cannot deny evolution. windows rock. I don't care if I am flamed, windows, like it or not, offered much to the computing universe.

Evolution isn't always a good thing.  {bleep}roaches evolved for millions of years, yet remain basically the same.  With each new generation they just become harder to kill.

I agree w/ SuperTurbo.  Regrettably, Windoze is the better of several really bad choices of so-called "modern" operating systems -- namely the bewildering array of Unix wannabes, MacOS among them.  I believe unix was developed in the early 1960s, wasn't it?  So why now, almost half a century later, is this antiquity hailed as the crowning achievement of high tech, especially by self-congratulatory companies like Apple.  We could solve the global energy crisis if someone could figure out how to convert all the OS-X hype into methane gas!  At least Winidoze and AmigaOS were created when most of us were alive (Mac68K, too), but not OS X, which is a cheesy cover of a golden oldie -- an absurdly bloated one at that.    If I *need* to use Outlook, or *need* to play DVDs, or *need* to do some relatively rare task that my Amiga cannot do, then my choice is Windoze.  For everything else, AmigaOS all the way.  Its lightweight, fast, efficient, responsive, intuitive and powerful.

@Colan1200:

You're right.  I've used OS-X very little.  Just enough to know I don't like it.  OS-X had a very "heavy" feel to it just moving around in directories -- at least to me it did.  I know the MacPro with X is faster than my Amiga but it doesn't feel faster.  In fact it feels slower.  The Amiga is lighter and feels a lot more responsive than OS-X did.  No comparison, really.  Even XP has a snappier feel to it than OS-X.

@KThunder:

I'd rather have an OS that is nimble and responsive, that loads quickly and doesn't waste time and resources loading libraries that seldom if ever get used.  Libraries should be loaded when a funtion within them is required by the system or is called by a user application.  Same with preference files and other application resources.  Just because the RAM exists to load everything including the kitchen sink doesn't mean we should necessarily do it.  How much extra waiting could there be anyway with processors now in the 3-4GHZ+ range?   I know the car analogy is kind of a cliche, but consider race cars.  F1 cars have oodles of raw horse power AND are extremely lightweight!  You don't see F1 teams respond to every gain in power with an urge to add more weight.  If they did the way computer companies add "features" you'd have Formula 1 cars that drove like Winnebagos.
