pretty much games only.  

Comparing AOS to Linux is no comparison.. Linux dominates (my OS of choice).

sure Fran.. but who's going to want to boot up a 512k A500 to run Dpaint with very little ram left?  Or to do the same and run the boing ball and clock w/a CLI showing the 'dir' command output.. lol.

Take for example a expanded amiga and try see which OS lets you send your email quickest! AmigaOS will for sure win on such tasks, so i would call that a advantage. Linux and Windows is slow and not very responsive even if you compare a modern pc with lets say a slow AmigaONE running OS4.


:lol:
I dont think "sending email quickest" is a good example.. I can shoot one out pretty quick under Linux. :lol:  My system rocks and is very responsive.

It does still however have some areas where it is better, which includes the fact that it is very lightweight and responsive compared to even the most lighweight linux distro running a lightweight window manager.
 

Being that I'm a car guy, I always read/hear about the ricers (import vehicle drivers) trying to compare their v4 against American v8 muscle.  One of the things they try to brag about is horsepower per ci/litre.  Its like comparing a Honda to a Ferrari.. in the end its still a Honda. LOL.  

Its great people still use it for internet, games etc.. its just silly to compare something so old to the latest and greatest.

A wait now your response will be: but today memory are cheap and computer have tons of memory.Ohh!!! yeahh!! and earth resources are unlimited  because a resource are avaliable in quantity not means that you should waste it.


Isnt that what gaming companies thought?  Everyone has a 512k Amiga so lets design all games for that..nobody will expand it.. and thats why our games didnt get any better.
