Re: What still makes Amiga superior today?

Today Amiga wins on:

1. Fast boot
2. Better screen-handling (switching etc...)
3. GUI can be adjusted as you wish
4. Nice looking systems! Its more personal
5. Great multitasking while playing games. No lagg

I have to say that the pokal goes to Magic User Interface and MorphOS of all these OS's. ReAction is nice, but MUI makes the system looks so much better. MorphOS v1.4.5 is pretty stable once hardware is stable :) Boots fast, have AmigaOS 68k support and more. I cant tell of how AmigaOS4 works, as I've only seen it on gatherings and meetings.

World is made by people who have money and marketing skills. Without marketing skills, there is simply hard to get out. Sega and its Dreamcast is an example after Commodore went down. Everyone knew that Dreamcast was better than Playstation 2 in every way. But SEGA forgot to add a DVD drive, which made Dreamcast suffer. As Playstation 2 was promoted as a cheap DVD-player in Japan. Its all about marketing and not loose community. Talking with them is important. Now as Amiga Inc. are totally silent. They arent trusted anymore. I would love to see AmigaOS4 for Acubes PPC motherboards. I wish that the future was brighter for Amiga. It really deserves a better future. Just SEE how MANY users STILL uses THIS damn GOOD hardware AND operating SYSTEMS made BY Commodore. It MUST be A good THING!... And the only one actually talking with the community, though he has his history is Bill Buck. Everyone else is silent.

ELBOX
Hyperion
Amiga Inc.
Acube (sorry, but I havent seen anyone posting from that company on Amiga websites yet...)

Well,... Amiga is superior in everyway for a home computing experience. I just wish that it would be taken more seriouselly  by its owners.


Regards,
Mike

You can have as many screens as you want in an AmigaOS/MorphOS enviroment. Ive had over 20 1680x1050 screens open at once without problems.

Normally I have 6-7 screens open. Depending on the mood.

1. System with AmiNetRadio + Wookiechat etc
2. Sputnik
3. AmiTradeCenter
4. TvPaint
5. fXpaint
6. Blender

You also have images of all running programs by leftclicking switchbutton in upper-right corner.

MUI lets you customize this as you want. I really enjoy using AmigaOS compared to Windows, Linux or Unix.

Also another thing. To change icons, the tidy system etc. You know why things are as they are. You have the control over it,... :) you dont need to read 1000 pages book to use it neither. AmigaOS/MorphOS is how home computing should have been.

So, for me. I havent found any other OS for home computing that can match MorphOS. It feels different and is really great.
