Although on the other hand some Amiga users seem to use Microsoft's incompetence as an excuse to remain completely ignorant of how Windows works, never to bother learning how to set it up properly, install bad software badly, and blame Bill Gates when it f**ks up.
Actually, I know quite how it works. And I was a convinced DOS user, until I discovered the Amiga.
I still need an Atari Falcon to make a good comparison between the AGA Amiga's (still need an A4000) and the Atari Falcon.
Fact is, beseen as gameconsoles, the Atari Jaguar is
way much faster than the CD32 (yup, I got both, an Atari Jaguar + cd unit and a CD32).
And I need an STE, wich actually has a blitter and stereo sound, to compare it with the Amiga500.
Anyhoo, how good the Falcon might have been with it's DSP, it did not have hardware multitasking (it had software preemptive multitasking with MultiTOS if I'm correct).
And can anyone delete the utterly misleading term "cooperative multitasking" out of the computer dictionary? The term, wich M$ and Mac used as selling argument? Multitasking my *ss :-x
