Re: Windows 95 wasn't better, but it was just good enough

Amiga OS had an exokernel before MIT invented the term and it got magnitudes more performance out of the contemporary CPUs than Windows did. The latest release of Amiga OS had a flag for publicly accessible memory which didn't do anything but it seems they had plans to flick the switch one day and turn on memory protection on those machines with an MMU.

But the MMU could always be used by Enforcer to find bugs while you write programs.
