People who have been running through the 2.1.x series and following the trend shouldnt feel a big change with 2.2.x - thats true...but its the final released 'stable' version that will now go out with the dist. CD's.
The *big* deal is the massive change between 2.0.x and 2.2.x, theres a HUGE number of great changes - my production Linux boxes are still running 2.0.36 and it'll be great to get them up onto the 2.2.x - but I'll do that properly with a full working distribution.
At home, on the other hand, I will be upgrading my Amiga LinuxPPC to 2.2.x from its nice hacky 2.1.x
the point being that without the work put into 2.1.x development, I wouldnt be running LinuxPPC on my Amiga - THATS why 2.2.x is great news
PS more people got excited by Win98 release - I dunno why, *they're* the saddos!
also, If you dont have such a soundcard, then why not just use the config to remove the option of compiling it? (200x faster than opening a source file and deleting code!)
These guys really DO live in cloud cuckoo land. This isnt some nice statistical survey - this is the simple fact that most people with computers have never had any non-windows experience.
Ask any Amiga/Mac/SGI/un*x/Linux/BeOS person who also uses any Microsoft OS whether they have ANY satisfaction with it - I think they'd soon come down to the real world.
MS may dominate right now - but they'll fall down soon - and very fast too

I guess you havent heard of AROS then?

What is really needed right now, is proper
memory protection and resource tracking to
be added to the current AmigaOS

read the thread futher up!!!
theres been a patch for this problem..

users have a "high satisfaction" with windows?
