Windows.... preemptive..... multitasking..... :-?

Are these people sure those words are meant to be in the same sentence? :-P

A new slogan might be in order:

"Windows NT is so good, you won't be able to play games properly"

:lol:

This problem occurs because Windows NT is a preemptive multitasking operating system.

No its because its crap. :-D

In my opinion, the only thing that any  version of windows "Prempt's" is stability and ease of use.  I would love to dump it as my daily use os.  (And will if OS4 ever gets here!) :-D

That makes me remember a day in my OS and Networking class at college. We were discussing job/process management, and the different methods. FIFO, Round Robbin etc.. We were simulating each technique, taking 5 or so minutes for each. Then we got to round robbin. "Windows NT uses a round robbin job scheduling method" said our professor. Our round robbin simulation then dragged on for the remaining 30 minutes of class.

Was this game written for Win3.1?  If so, it doesn't seem that outragous to me that it doesn't work right.

*edit* I'm talking about the non-NT Win here.

Wow, you guys are pretty cool bashing Windows NT 3.1

Haven't seen someone bash windows in the most retarded way here in maybe 5 or 10 minutes.

:roll:

Whats even worse is that most of the people who post on the forum about this make points that are baseless. Or the best one of all, "Microsoft Sucks" or "Windows Sucks".

Drop the angst guys, it serves no purpose.

Okay, like Windows Xp, and Windows 2000 don't suck. NT's alright but sucks for you if you want to play DirectX games.  Windows 1-->3.1 and 9X suck, no if ands or buts, 3.1 and horribly unstable, and 9X was way too buggy. Microsoft realized this and got rid of those OSes.  OTOH Windows Xp and Windows NT need some serious HD space, RAM, and processor power.  Amiga doesn't need that, and I prefer the  much more spartan set up when you install it to harddrive so Amiga>Windows whether or not Windows "sucks". The only issue is Amiga lacking tools that Windows has, not the OS itself. Java support on a wbe browser doesn't mean the OS is worse, though it hurts the overall 'platform' the Amiga platform is weaker than the windows platform becuase of the small userbase and slower computers, but for what it does, it does dang well.

I've said my level headed thing. Microshaft sucks and Winblows.

Doesn't AmigaOS use Round Robin?
