Windows 95 ended the debate. It was solid, graphical and cheap. There was a brief moment for Amiga and then it was gone. I believe there was no winning hand. The direction the industry took was inevitable. Instead of crying over the past let's just enjoy our little corner of it.
Windows 95 Solid
Have you ever used it? Solid is not the first word that comes to mind.
I remember it well. It was incredibly slow, took gobs of RAM and flakey as hell. From a reliability point of view my Amiga was a lot better.
Windows 98 was better and was functionally a lot better than the Amiga but it was still slow.
Then I got BeOS and all was right with the world. It was fast, and it could multitask properly without sizing up or crashing. Just like the Amiga.
