That's laughable. WinBloats does not run with PMT, the apps are by times 
larger therefore you need a much faster Intel machine to compete with a 68040 
Amiga.

You've seen it. Does X run? Do you worked with it? Do you have lounched a 
single application such as FrameMaker?
The Point is, with AmigaOS you can WORK in 2MB.

Gods sake, the same bloated, overloaded apps as on Windows PC's? Even those 
will run better on AmigaOS, though I don't miss them (and I don't need them).
