Something Amiga did was to give graphics, video, multitasking and cpu-performance with a low price tag. Macs had a serious price tag and no acceleration to boot. x86 just sucked in all departments.
Amiga was integrated such that databuses could work in parallell. Co-chips does things without bothering the cpu etc. Macs and x86s were all peek & poke more or less. Multimedia sucked as a consequence.
Commodore had some really interesting projects like the
Hombre project (speaking of PPC WB). The hinder.. management greed?
As said earlier, in 1985 Amiga screwed the competition.
Memory protection would also been really useful.
In 1994 we were happily multitasking and most computer users didn't know what that meant and even claimed it was useless. And our applications were quite professional and most of them more affordable than similar programs in other systems.
Says quite much.
DOS, huh?
Win95 no stabiity or quick response. Infact the first PC were bought with the intention to use it as a PPP<->Ethernet proxy due Ethernet card prices for Amiga. Atari ST lacked the cool graphics and sound of Amiga (asfair). At the comparable time Amiga had power graphics and stereo. PC had amber text and beep.
ISA bus vs Zorro was also a hands down.
Agree with digiman that a port of KS/WB to PPC or PA-RISC etc.. would have left the m68k obsolescence behind.
(What is AKIKO btw?)Finally a fan photo of Medhi Ali!
