But I'm not sure why having support for nearly all printers is usable in defense of requiring so many resources just to boot the OS. Why would any efficient OS, by default, load drivers for printers at startup?
The point was that Windows offers lot more functionality than AmigaOS 3 (or OS4/MOS for that matter) ever could. You can make comparisons how much less IBrowse needs than IE, but then IE can do CSS and Java and everything else. And compared to mother of bloat, Mozilla, IE is actually very efficient. I also wonder how well laser printers are supported in AmigaOS 3.9 or if it is possible to use network printers. Or use file sharing even. And what else.
And don't defend it by saying 'it's an OS, it's very complex'. Bull. MS has a staff of a least, what ,say 100 people? Get rid of the bugs! Make it less prone to crashes! (BEFORE you release another version...)
Point me an AmigaOS version which was bug free.
(No, I don't think Windows is the best OS. I've been told VMS is the best OS ever, but without further clarification I cannot confirm that.)
