Move on? Amiga is dead? Can't compete with Gates?

To all you people who write those things, what on God's green Earth does it matter to you?
Are you mad you took the time to read this article? If that's the case you obviously clicked the link to get to it and I would hope you have the brain power to click another to get away from it.
'No OS can compete with Windows.' Well, saying that before it's even released makes it become a self-fulfilling prophesy. Can't be done so please don't try to do it? Who ever succeeded with thoughts like that?
I don't know ANY Amiga user who is sitting in their dark, dank basement stareing at the screen of their 2000 trying desperately to get it to play a RealVideo stream. All of them either own or have access to Gates Crates and most often they are top-of-the-line models, not the $800 cheapo special of the week.
Here's a clue, none of us are waiting for a new Amiga. We've moved on and also continue to like and use those old beasts for various reasons. For things they can not do we simply use other tools. The fact that we often use all the tools available to us means we kinda know what's good or bad about them. The fact that we're hopeing (note, not waiting) that a new Amiga comes out that also uses the modern hardware we have in our Gates Crates (heck, my GC has more RAM on it's Radeon graphics card than my Amiga has) shouldn't cause you people such problems.
Heck, if you'd have used an OS with Datatypes you wouldn't exactly be so thrilled with an OS that uses a 3 character file extension to try to make you believe it knows what type of file it is you're trying to open. It's features like that which make us hope for some new Amigas.
