- I don't think so. The Amiga and the Mac (about 24 million users)
- have so far proven otherwise. Besides, Unix/X is technically a
- match for WinNT (and Linux is even free - rather amazing feat, if you
- think of it). And we can run that on Amigas even today.

- Once both OS'es are available on one machine, most applications
- will probably be coded for the "bigger" OS (because developers find
- it safer). I doubt if this is such an advantage.
