AMIGA OS is still much better, even the oldest versions of
AMIGA OS are still better than any version of Windows.
For example, the AMIGA always had real multitasking and
no multi-crashing that's so typical for Windows. The AMIGA
always had long filenames. And so on.
AMIGA OS is so much better than Windows XP. Better burn
your Windows CD and get an AMIGA with AMIGA Os. Even
an ancient AMIGA 500 is much better than any Windows XP
machine!!!
So many experts........with so many soapboxes.

> Windows is rubbish
I agree!
Post this into a PONG group. It has no business being in an OS group.

Of all the groups I subscribe to, I figured this is the one where someone would take the bait when this guy got around to trolling it.
You rate XP that low?
How did you develop that conclusion? I said an amiga post belongs in a PONG
group, not a Windows OS group.
and the figures are..............
No you didn't, and I'm reading this in an Amiga newsgroup you fucking
dickhead.
Irrelevant?

Really? You sure that's what you mean?
So does that make you a PONG Master or something?
No, just a bit more enlightened then yourself.

Fishing again F/Wit?
Did you mean "than", unenlightened one?
And you will not like that.
There was no spelling error identified, it was incorrect word usage.
Nevermind, you obviously couldn't understand anyway.
Makes one wonder if everyone in the Pong group is so dense, doesn't it.
Another ignoranus enters the discussion from the PONG group.
The state of ones enlightenment is not judged by that spelling of ones
second language, but in the message it purveys.
As previously stated, there was nothing posted about a spelling error.
"then" was misspelt was it not?
No, that's the correct spelling of 'then'. How do you spell it???
That's how I spell 'then', but since there was no "time" relationship
involved, 'then' is incorrect usage. You made a comparison, you need to use
'than':
I'm going to the store "then" to a movie.
The movie was a sequel that was better "than" the original.
That is correct, it was a word usage error.
Not in the context I used it in, it should have been spelt "than".
Except I placed an "e" where the "a" should have been. It was misspelt,
since I'm quite aware of the difference between "then" and "than".

Sounds great. Where can I get it ? How much does it cost ? Will it run
on my Intel based PC ?

Download WinUAE and scrounge around for KS and WB files and you can then run
Amiga OS faster then any real classic Amiga. Alternatively you could buy
Cloanto's Amiga Forever which includes all the Kickstart ROM's etc and is
fully legal.
Nope. I'm a big Amiga booster. I might even say a somewhat well-known
one. ;) But your statement's just not so. You can't stick a floppy into
an XP machine and have it crash the machine. That _did_ happen on the
oldest versions of the Amiga OS.
In fact, XP doesn't crash often. Certainly much less than Workbench 1.2
or 1.3.
That said, I'm still sold on Ami.
In fact *any* version of AmigaOS.
> That said, I'm still sold on Ami.
I'm a fan in the retro and hobbyist sense but I'm also enough of a realist
to know that AmigaOS is well past viability on a practical level.
Only cause the hardware's not there.
And the software is hopelessly out of date, buggy or simply inadequate by
todays standards.
The OS too has many shortcomings compared to the current mainstream
operating systems.
Do you know that? How?
WB 2.0 was pretty good. Very good, in fact. And probably all of the
versions were WAY better than the competition in those days.
There have been revs of the OS since then. What happened? I don't know!
Probably they put in protected memory, which was the downfall of Win,
Mac AND Ami in those days. What else? I don't know!
Virtually no new software.
No new hardware.
No memory protection.
Nothing like the features and stability you get with any other OS out there.
No support for leading edge hardware.
Poor to no support for trailing edge hardware.
Lack of developers, development and support.

But still very unstable. OS/2 was pretty good too, and certainly more
stable.

Mostly bug fixes and patches incorporated into the OS and assorted
crippleware added.
And still as unstable as hell.
