It's 20 years on, and Windows still doesn't have...

But for some reason, Microsoft deems experimentation too dangerous for their userbase...I guess.

Or perhaps they just dont care?

Its a different OS, its doing things different. And I guess by now there are more things in Windows that AmigaOS lacks than the other way around.

Dont get me wrong, I love AmigaOS (3.x). Its (still) usable and I love the responsiveness and its efficiency. I dont 'love' Windows, I just dont hate it as much as  I used to, because it did evolve quite well.
 
But hey thats just my opinion.

Two things I miss when on Windows:
 
1) Shift + Backspace to delete a string of text behind me
 

tried shift + home?

Reading some comments here I cant help but think you are all still using a very old version of Windows. Some of you are even comparing it to AmigaOS, which is plain ridiculous. For example; okay, so Windows lacks a way to save multiple sets of preferences for videoplayers, in the way the Amiga does when saving screenmode prefs, for example. But do you all realise its not even possible to play back any modern video on an Amiga, even without subtitles? Windows may not be perfect, and for sure is not much 'fun' to use (like AmigaOS) but it IS the most advanced, complete and evolved operating system around these days. And Windows7 is very speedy indeed on my 2006 pc. I even use IE9 and I think its alright.

Well, perhaps you should go back and read my entire post. I wasnt commenting on the speed.

@roj, First off, I find it ironic that you accuse me of bad form. You replied to a comment I made with a 'TL;DR', then only commented on the very last and least important line of my post. Thats just plain rude.

Anyway, thanks for your lengthy explanation of the purpose of this thread. I wasnt intending to make anyone look foolish. Just wanted to point out that comparing Windows to AmigaOS makes no sense. And Im glad you agree with me there.

Last, I dont expect many people on an Amiga forum to agree with me when I write positive things about Windows or IE9. Its just that some people seem to have a very biased, even short-sighted opinion on anything Microsoft-related. Thats why I made my post.
