almost all points are fake and pure propaganda

windows 95 requires 4mb of ram not 16mb
windows 95 is more stable than any workbench
windows 95 can boot in less than a min on a 486 not 3 mins
and Bill gates and Microsoft developed Amiga Basic and other software for the Amiga on ancient times

Perhaps... if you have nothing heavier than solitaire installed in your computer.

windows 95 is more stable than any workbench

I highly doubt that. In fact, the only thing the terms 'Windows 95' and 'stable' have in common is that they are both related to horseshit. Win95 was more unstable than a teaspoon of nitroglycerin.

And I'm not some Bill Gates hater, in fact I find nothing wrong with Windows XP.

Furthermore, I rather have an Ide interface instead of SCSI any day, because Ide devices are cheaper than their SCSI counterparts.

yes win95 is really unstable ...you can't compare with windows xp or 2000 or win 7....but I consider win95 more stable than any Workbench on any Amiga....on the AMiga you will get gurus very often and random resets if you start to surf the web and if you do another things...there's no memory protection and the AMigaOS lacks essential things that prevents the system to crash if a program calls illegal memory

but the main problem of this was the stupidity and lies of this propaganda and the immature childish of the Amiga community at the time

that spam must be eradicated forever

That's a good one. I'll remember it for the next time I'm feeling sad

Guess the point is that a WB boots faster, but yeah 3 minutes doesn't happen with a fresh 95 install. Seen XP machines that need a lot more than 3 minutes though.

Chill out people i know this is a little bit off date but i had no intentions to inferiorize windows in any way.
This is the same shit that still happen nowadays with windows and Mac and Linux, I think that there is space for everything i'm just sad that Commodore went bankrupt for strange reasons. I Love Commodore for what it represented in the 80's and 90's it was a vision of his creator. When Amiga appeared it blow the competition away, for the kids back then, to have those graphics in a home computer and above all affordable, was amazing, it was like having an arcade machine home.
Peace

Not trying to compare systems but i still think that it's amazing how we can use todays technology in an amiga with more than 20 years old it's a pity that the amiga didn't had much time to grow has a system because if it did i think that Bill Gates would had serious competition or Microsoft just begun to build applications for Amiga. You have to love Amiga Simplicity.

Not in my experience.

I still have Windows 95 (original version, not OSR2) installed and running on a Tyan Pentium 200MMX based PC, which dual-boots it with MS-DOS 5.0.

Both operating systems are as solid as a rock on this workhorse machine.

It's not that amazing when you consider all these things usually conform to standards which have been around for a long time now. What's amazing is that these standards haven't been completely abandoned yet

also
it's not amazing for me that ppl uses technology 20 years old
or 17 in the case of the A1200 and the A4000
some ppl today drive cars from 1940 or 1950 and they are happy and the cars runs very fine
some ppl lives in very old houses from 19 century and that houses are very solid
The great pyramid of Gizeh is still there and is 4600 years old
The main problem is the computers/console industry it is very cruel and is killing every day what was made yesterday

But you have to consider that it even hasn´t got a garage....

Maybe most of the stated points in this ´10 reasons´ are wrong or outdated but there are a few more very actual ones: 1.the Amiga shuts down with one click 2. it normally gets along with a 12V/4,5A power supply (except of ´High-End´ Amigas) 3. many Amigas still work.

What we buy today it's obsolete tomorrow... I guess that's the price to pay for a consumer society.
It still sucks to see how great things tend to be "killed" by a few guys who don't see behind their own pocket.

Don't you all think its about time that Microsoft released the kernal on a ROM chip rather than having to install it on a hard drive? In many ways Workbench is still better.

Who mentioned RAM? He could have been talking about drive space. An OS on a floppy.

I'd disagree, but I'm sure you're one of those people who has run Win 95 since day one on a 286 with 32k RAM and it's never crashed. ;-)

He said "an IBM", and if you had an IBM at the time, it would be 3mins. They never made good desktops.. IMHO.

The last device Bill Gates (himself, it didn't mention MS on that part) developed software for was the Tandy Model 100.
