Microsoft Interested In Buying AMD?

[Deleted member 83233]

I loved the crap out of Warp4, it's been so long I can't remember why I ended up in Windows, but it was probly either hardware drivers or software availability. Which sounds a lot like Windows/Linux, might be a pattern there.

Also, BeOS!

BeOS!! I forgot about that one completely! Well, we may as well herald the return of Amiga Workbench while we're at it!

Never used Amiga, but I ran Be on a dual P2 Unisys server I bought cheap on craigslist for a good while and it was awesome. Damn shame it faded away.

Never put down the Amiga OS! You can actually buy fulling working Amiga computers that run OS 4.01. However, they are not cheap but definitely fast and work quite well. However, I just use Amiga Forever and I have to say, my Amiga 500 that I used to own with a 68030 upgrade and OS 2.01 was the best computer I have ever owned.

That is saying a lot considering I think of my new computer as very good as well.

I don't think I'd like that happening. Microsoft would likely make a hard-locked ecosystem like Apple does and only offer their best versions of OS and productivity/development apps if you buy their hardware. Anyone not buying their hardware would be stuck with watered-down "lite" editions.

Never would! I love the Amiga. Had a 500, 2000, and had friends with 500s, 1200s, etc.

These days, I run WinUAE, and AmiKit, which is a pretty cool HD install especially for a more casual game/demo type user like myself. I still have my box of floppies stashed away, but it's nice to click on a hard drive image for a game you used to have to swap disks for.
