On x86 world running windows you always have the perfomance of two generations behind.To run the current version of windows at happily speeds you need the processors of tomorrow and then you will be forced to run a new version of windows that need the next generation chip to run at reasonable speeds and then...........So what´s the point
Because running non-M$ OS, you can take advantage of the awesome hardware capabilities.
Linux has become as bloatware as windows in the lastest years so........
Yet I don't see anyone crying over Linux if it's running on a out of date PPC? Bloat in Linux means the distro screwed something up. At a old PC and kill off xorg and then tell me how slow Linux (or BSD) is. Slap in a AROS-Max CD and then tell me how slow the old box is. That should give you a yardstick when comparing these modern x86/x86-64 boxes running some OS as light as AROS is.
And onother os on x86 is only another win for windows as every pc sold is money for microsoft
More bull cookies! You can buy a PC with Linux or buy a Mac without the M$ tax. The only PCs I've bought from a OEM are laptops. Build your own system, like you would with a Peg or A1 mobo! I could go on an cry over the Apple tax on every PPC box, but I would be as wrong as you are over x86 and M$ tax.
But your looking for unreasonable and silly reasons to continue on being a ludite, don't let reality stop you from your mission.
