Cloanto critisize AmigaXL marketing : Comment 82 of 82ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 81 (Solar (BAUD)):
I'm not deeply in the PC/x86 fields. I heard there is some issue also about CPU modes (normal, protected, etc.), also in contact with memory. And AFAIK, some "extended memory manager" still have to run in the background, at least in the Win9x, Me series, that manages memory-access above 1MB.

Uhhmm! Really? How... lamers they are! This was a sin!
Anyway, something certainly causes that many times the system behaves like if some routine (other than the GUI, or even other that the OS) has been lost in some inside loop, for a while. Like few msec to even several seconds, or more, freezing the whole system in between. So, it feels like if it were cooperative. Or, we could say, it is partly so...
Anyway, there were paging sometime, and that not at all were favourable to fast task scheduling methods, and everything based on that. I wouldn't surprised at all if some(?) code segments were dragged even into the XP, like, as you said, into the 9x series...
So, AmigaOS could easily run better on today's PC's that even the XP... :)
