Well, I think that if you are talking about protected memory then you have
a good argument.  I think if you are talking about multiuser support than
you have a good argument.  But I think in terms of resources used, speed,
and ease of use the AmigaOS wins.  Does that make one better than the other?
I my mind yes, but I do admit that is just my opinion.

I suppose it really depends what your needs are.
I know the Amiga has networking, I have seen limited security
programs for the Amiga, but clearly nothing like what you are
talking about.  But the tradeoff for those features is resources.  Is it a
good trade, well sence I am the only one that uses my Amiga PC, no.  If
there is more than one person using an Amiga maybee it would be a fair trade.
