Your replies speak for themselves.
Yes, it's a shame you're incapable of understanding them.
1. Theoretically lack of multi-user and MP make AmigaOS less secure. In reality, it means SFA as a)the risk of malware is negligible
You have malware on the brain. Malware isn't the only (or even the most dangerous) risk factor for a computer that having a multi user environment in place protects against.
Case in point: My sister was given a Win98 laptop some years back, she decided to and I quote "tidy up" the internal file structure, which meant renaming and deleting about 2 3rds of the OS before it finally shat itself.
When she later got an XP box, I made sure she ran in a limited user account to avoid repetition.
2. I referred to Ubuntu as it is BY FAR the mostly widely used distro.
I'm sorry, but you're going to have to provide a citation of that. And whilst you're at it you may wish to look into the numerous variants based off of it before you make a complete arse of yourself... Again.
Totem is its default media player. Ergo its the most widely used Linux media player out of the box. Ditto lack of mp3 and DVD playback in Ubuntu. Its what most Linux users would confront out of the box.
Until you provide proof of your claims, your conclusions are equally worthless.
3. I referred to VLC precisely to negate your BS "WMP as an OS framework used by third party media players without which you can't playback media files" argument. I achieved my aim. The rest is just waffle.
There is nothing BS about it. And way to totally ignore what I actually said and at the same time bypass your own original question.
You created a strawman. Nothing more nothing less.
4. Spotlight? You claimed iTunes could be considered an integral part of the OS.
I told no such lies.
Here is what I said, for the flids among us:
I wouldn't be surprised if the library functions within iTunes on OSX are in part tied to the OS's search engine that again could be tapped by other software...
Way to misrepresent everything that has been said to you. Come back to the site when you learn to read.
5. Competence has nothing to do with the fact that one OS has sensibly named folders and file names, and another doesn't or requires you to execute and remember a gazillion shell commands just to do simple thing.
Competence has everything to do with it. It all "makes sense" once you understand it. And whilst Vanilla AOS3.x may well be easier to learn thanks to its simple size, the moment you actually move out of that and start applying patches and full blown replacement bits to it, things get complex real fast.
Linux, Windows and OSX might have slightly tougher learning curves when it comes to delving into their guts, but the flip side is that with the latter two at least, there is far less need as they come with fairly sane default settings and enough functionality built in to not necessitate hacking away at them, Linux too if you choose your distro correctly can provide a very elegant out of the box experience, though with that you do have to be a little pickier with your hardware choice than windows. The other point is that kids today are being brought up on Windows practically from the cradle, for them, the Amiga would be as alien to their way of handling a computer as some hardcore Linux or BSDs would be.
That thread`must have cut you,
Not at all, tbh I'd all but forgotten about it until you started acting the hypocrite.
