What do you think an OS is for? Windows doesnt make itself better than AmigaOS, it is the software that makes Windows platform better than other platform. I believe you should first get an idea on what an OS does and should do. Their job is to use/configure hardware efficiently(ex multitasking). Their job is to provide good APIs so programmers can write software for them easily. MS Office, Winamp doesnt make Windows better than Linux, or AmigaOS, it is just the windows platform that is better.
If we compare Windows to other OSes such as AmigaOs, Linux, BEOS, windows is definitly far behind any of them. I'm not saying AmigaOS is perfect but at least it does what it has to do the best.
Another thing you talk about is being modern. So you got p4 3.4 gig cpu, good for you. I believe that 3.4 gig cpu speed makes you think that it is modern and so it beats everything out there, and only the best programs can be written on that system. Practically it doesnt much matter if you are using a full featured office system on p4 and on 68060/ppc amiga. You wont see any difference. Buy hey it is almost 10 years old right. So no way you use it even....
Amiga has good points and bad points as everyting else. So stop talking about some platform that you have no idea of, and yeah learn what an OS is.
