before you answer, no, "Give me all your money please" is not an acceptable answer 
I think I'd probably ask him to do an evil laugh.
You know the kind. "MUAAAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAA!!"
Just because it'd be so...well, appropriate.
And then I'd video tape it and watch it whenever I needed cheering up 
Because right now...I'd really like a cookie.
Thinking about your posts
(and billing you for it) since 2001
Seriously, I'd ask why his OS is so huge and still crap compared to the AmigaOS (which is still only one floppy disk in size)

Id ask him how the hell he puts up with all the people that bash Microsoft just because they are the big guy
By rolling around in his money, just like Scrooge McDuck.
I don't bash Microsoft, but I'm stuck using it so I do wish it was far better than it is, and having seen what a great OS could be like, I know what I want to see in Windows.
. My computer is not that great and im sure that Bill Gates has a really good computer that he could make me if i asked him really nicly. Then if he said no i would get in a fight with Bill Gates let him hurt me, then sue him adn say he attacked me for asking him if I could get one of his computers!quote:
Kanid had this to say about (_|_):
I don't bash Microsoft
Then why did you bash microsoft?
And I seriously doubt AmigaOS could run 32bit applications or have the graphic capabilities of a windows system.

Crap in terms of what?

You'd lose that bet. The Amiga was the premier rendering and video-editing machine. Babylon 5's CG was all done on an Amiga setup.

Well shit I was thinking of the OLD amiga os.
The new one sucks too though. 'cause I said so.

That was the old Amiga OS. 
I was assimilated in '94, though, so I haven't kept up with Amiga.

As Bloodsage said, you'd lose that bet.
The AmigaOS was 32bit in 1985 when it was released. (thanks to Motorola's 32bit memory addressing in the 16bit 68000 processor) It had pre-emptive multitasking in 1985. It had a 32bit File System. It had linear memory addressing. The OS ran easily in under 256k of memory and was the size of one LOW DENSITY floppy disk.
Before Plug and Play, the Amiga's Auto-detect detected all hardware installed on boot up. The CLI and GUI were seamlessly integrated, unlike every other GUI OS out there today. It suppored long filenames from the start.
Up until the release of the Pentium III at 450MHz, my Amiga4000 with 25MHz 68040 ran circles around Windows and was my primary machine.
The Amiga could use ISA and PCI cards, in addition to it's superior (at the time) 32bit ZorroIII bus. It could emulate MSDOS/Windows and MacOS in software and/or hardware.
SeaQuest and Babylon5 both used Amigas with the Video Toaster and Lightwave to create their CG effects and displays. I believe a single Amiga4000 with Video Toaster is still being used in Dolphin stadium to control their big screen display (A project they estimated would take 10 top of the line Wintel machines)
NASA still uses Amigas for the monitoring of unmanned flights because of the stability of the OS, the fact that even though the OS never claimed to be "real time" it was the closest thing to it still available, and the fact that an Amiga restarts in under 3 seconds (A known problem with some Hard Drives which actually take ~5 seconds to spin up so they added delays in the boot up code)
And then I, I would be the puppeteer at last! KYAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Then ask for some money, though nowhere in the millions.

Because they couldn't market for shit.
Because Mehdi Ali milked their products for every penny he could, screwing the shareholders then fleeing the country.
Just because a product is far superior to everything on the market does not mean it will succeed in the marketplace.
Seriously, looking at what the Amiga could do in 1985, things that Windows is just now able to do, if they had proper funding and marketing, just imagine where computing would be today.
