- It shouldn't, but they do. That is due to M$ and their complete lack of
- abiltity to write a decent OS. Plus, If MS is so good, how come the Amiga
- runs at 20 times the speed (or more) with the same processing power? I have
- made some experiments, and my '030 is a lot faster with my 3.0 amiga than a
- P100 under Sloth95.

- you are seriously trying to tell me you have never had an UAE, GPF or any of
- the other wonderful M$ inventions? I think not. Plus, M$ write the most
- unstable OSs in the universe, just look at how well OpenGL works on the PC
- under Windows to see. I am talking about the programming aspect of GL here
- by the way.
