Thirdly $50!!!!!! or $100 if you want to use an OS that sees more than 3 gig ram, and if you're gonna use a ram disk in windows you'd want to be able to do that. Thats more than half the price of of an OEM version of the OS itself..

There are a lot of *free* RamDisk for Windows. No need to spend any money over it. And for years there have been *free* RamDisk for Windows. There were also a free RamDisk for DOS.

Executive *wasn't* free by that time. Some applications refuse to work or crash with some schedulers... This is a hack.

The Amiga interface (Workbench) is very logical
I wouldn't say that...
Just give an Amiga, a Windows machine, a Mac to people who never ever touched a computer and we'll see which one is the more logical, or... intuitive...

Ok, so what's the point here ? 68k family being backward compatible ?

It seems to me that software written for 68040+ won't run correctly without 68040 library.

So maybe in theory it is. But in reality you cannot rely on that it seems... Why do we need 30 pages to argue on that ?
