Ahhh the Amiga, for years it wasn't more than WinUAE but in the last few months I've started putting my 1200 back together. Now after spending over £300 I've got a nice tower conversion, 68030@50mhz, 50mb ram, scsi, pci board with voodoo, sound and network.
Now why did I do this you might ask when WinUAE basically would of done more than I ever needed i.e. games. Well lad and ladesses its the feeling of powering up an actual amiga rather than an enulator. Its the satisfaction you get from actually using the real machine.
I intend to replace my Vista machine with the Amiga for internet usage basically cause its a lot quieter and more fun to work with.
One other thing. Theres alot of hate here towards Microsoft and the OS's. Ive always used them from 95 right up to Vista now on my main rig. To be honest I think the best Microsoft OS is XP. Vista is jsut a pain in the arse with its damn security.
Someone saidyou can't rename a folder while access it in windows. WRONG you can indeed rename the folder as long as the program your using is an standard windows program. Example playing an MP3 on Media Player. The file name fodler name can be renamed to whatever you want and it plays on regardless. If your using a 3rd party player then no it can't but why blame the OS for 3rd party software.
Again its been said why can't I have : or \ in the file names, well thats cuase windows uses those references in its filesystem doesn't it. Even in Vista you can still type c:\hiddenfiles\porn\messy.avi and it works. The OS uses those operators so you can't have them and btw there are a shed load of other keys pick one of them.
Next time your stupidly click on an Icon drag it then think of I shouldn't of done that try hitting Escape instead of panicing.
I could ramble on for ages here proving that all yer negitive windows points are infact pointless but I need to get back to work but in short Windows has done more for home computing than any other OS. Fair play to Microsoft they seen a chance and went for it. I would bet that anyone could easily use a windows enviroment way before Linux or Amiga. Windows has been developed for the Living Room pc experance not the attic nerd.
