I first had to use, and therefore purchase, a PC in late 94 I think, after my A1200 v1 purchase anyway. What a rude awakening that was. First impressions were Win 3.1 is WORSE than Workbench 1.1 or Gem v1 on the ST. Where the hell is the logical/physical location relationship the GUI of what is on your hard disk. And it got worse, the file system was WORSE than a Commodore PET from the 70s! 8.3 format was pathetic. Sure Dbase IV was fine for programming but that file system got right on your nerves VERY quickly. And I used Dpaint for all my assignments and projects because Photoshop even then was ineffectual bloatware and there was nothing as simple and effective as using Dpaint in super high rez and printing 1:1 with a bubblejet printer.
And then there was all the pathetic messing about to get enough memory! You have 4mb on board, app/game says not enough memory. You need to do all this geeky rubbish to maximise the dinosaur memory map of 640k >1mb >rest. And then you need the right kind of extra memory like EMS/XMS etc gahhh what a piece of shit.
But as others have said there was no new Amigas, the CD32 was a waste of time (inferior hardware STILL to the SNES/Megadrive...why bother?) and Escom were pimping 1992 (too little too late) Technology in the 96 market place. 4 years is the difference between C64 and Amiga for god's sake!
I found the games anal and boring and lacking any kind of excitement, the only decent PC game was Super Stardust, but as it was a lot less hassle to play it on my A1200 AND PC joysticks were a joke...erm. Games like Sam and Max and Day of the Tentacle were boring and required a sound card costing more than a 2nd hand A1200 at the time, what a joke. Wing Commander was pathetic, and Doom became boring very quickly for me.
Nope the only thing I wanted from the PC world in the mid 90s on my Amiga was a FAST serial port for 56k modems (bloody Commodore penny pinching) and Netscape 3. That's it, nothing else. And even to this day I don't care for OS X or Vista (or service pack 7 for Vista AKA Windows 7). But as someone else said there was no Amiga, no development, no Commodore, it was a false choice.
Amiga was like a fearless warrior of Conan proportions who died alone and penniless in a cancer hospital ward....PC was a weakling of a bespectacled spotty kid with a rich daddy and a sever infection of the luck virus. And that my friend is how I imagine 99% of intelligent Amiga users who had no choice but to get a PC felt. Sad end to a glorious amazon warrior.
YMMV
