And as for the “claim” that you “can’t do that on Windows” - what nonsense.

Nope, true. The architecture of the OS is very important. I remember seeing BeOS in the mid 90s runnung four video streams and some audio on a dual-processor PPC box without a hiccup. Windows 95 and Windows NT couldn't do it. Mac OS on the same hardware couldn't even do it.

Like the author you compare the past to the present. As you said, the OS makes the difference. Back then the DIFFERENCE that Mac wackos cited was the SUPERIORITY of the PPC. You have the audacity to compare OSX to NT?

Compare: processor to processor, OS to OS, video format to video format... or simply admit that your PERSONAL choice computer is simply a RELIGION.

For the record, I own a software company. We write for OS X and Windows.

Amigas in the late 80's could do it. I saw it demonstrated at an Amiga show.
