> >>>No memory protection >(cough) (whispers) That hasn't been true since 1992. Per usual the Amiga had this feature before either Mac or PC had it. In what alternative world are you living ? :) AmigaOS has no (true) memory protection, and shares the same address space between each processes. That means any process can (and do all the time) bring down the whole system. AmigaOS doesn't support multi processing. That means you can't make use of multi core processors. AmigaOS doesn't support resource-tracking. It means you cannot easily close and free all resources available to an application that would refuse to close itself. AmigaOS doesn't support 64 bit. And won't easily... (and yes, some parts support 64bit, like dos.library allowing to access >4gb partitions, and so on... but this has nothing to do with 64bit adressing/processing available inside the OS). And this cannot be added without breaking compatibility. Hyperion keep on saying it can be done, but it remains to be seen. Fact is after 10 years of development since the very first "AmigaOS 4" version, it lags behind mainstrean OS because of the mentionned missing features from the core OS. You may still like/appreciate/use it: no problem... But you have to understand this is a problem for the adoption of the OS for anyone outside the Amiga community.
