Listen dweeb, I plainly stated that they already have IN EXISTENCE a platform
independant system which was obviously designed with considerations from
all three operating systems.  Obviously a radically different system like
the Amiga (and it's lack of many of Windows,OS/2's SDK niceties) would
present a difficulty.

Please!  And I suppose there is software like Excel, and WordForWindows
on the Amiga?  How about Works, it sells in a bundle with more PC's
per month than Commodore sells Amigas in a year.

Given the choice of driving a Jaguar with mouldy seat covers, or a 
brand new Ford Tempo ... you would probably walk.

Besides, Microsoft has adopted a zero bugs policy.  (a change for the better
I must say)
