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 Last edited by Fabie; 18 February 2010 at 15:17. |

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. Last edited by paulo_becas; 18 February 2010 at 16:48. |

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

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 |

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. |

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.

Really?
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. Quote:
