Yet another reason to love Amiga OS

[Nightcrawler]

I'm using QNX6.2.1 these days, and I think it is a great example of how virtual mem/shutdown/etc should be done, at least from a user POV. What happens "under the hood" I really don't know, but the important bit is that it doesn't bother me. It's all quick and painless, as an OS should be. Not slow and annoying, like windows and to a certain extent Linux.

Datatypes are Good Things. There are many reasons to love AOS, but I think the most important one is the total package. How the OS is "put together", and how it interacts with the user. I've yet to see anything like AOS in that department. In what other OS can you open an application, decide that you didn't want it anyway, and close it while it's loading? QNX comes close, but not quite.
