Dual boot dilemma
by BigBenAussie on Thu 10th Jun 2004 08:02 UTC

If AmigaOS came on x86 Hardware you'd only be dual booting back to windows. You'll be using it now and then as a quaint alternative, just as a lot of people do with Linux. I think this is one of the things that keeps Linux retention so low. You have some trouble with Linux somewhere and you go "F'it I'm going back to windows". Only making the investment in the PPC hardware will encourage you to plow through the teething problems and get the most out of the system. There's no windows on this PPC platform.... AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!!!!
