This discussion only shows me that people are often very narrow-minded... The Amiga IS the better computer of the two. I don't have an Amiga, I'll never have one, but I have a ST and a Falcon! BUT, Amiga is the better machine concerning architecture and OS is better, too. Maybe first versions of AmigaOS were crap, but ALL Tos-Versions are crap, too. No multitasking! And don't come up with Multi-TOS or something. These things really suck! And if you call AmigaOS instable, you should run away from Magic in horror! :)
Oh, btw Amiga-multitasking works quite good and is fast...
Believe it or not, the ST was a rather fast shot! It was designed in about half a year mainly by that indian dude whose name I forgot (big respect though), while the Amiga was a quite good developed machine.
And, yes TOS is quite stable but it's not so difficult to produce a lame, stable single-task system... And even after years, TOS developement was in something outsiders would have called "early stages", while AmigaOS was working quite well.
Look at a standart-Falcon and ask yourself what system-developers have been doing the seven years since TOS 1.0...
I like Atari-Computers, but I have to admit that Amigas are better computers!
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT SOFTWARE, BUT ABOUT MACHINES!!!

I have been trying out WinUAE for one month now. And I`m amazed with the fact that all the games I liked on the ST are better on the Amiga.....
I have two PCs running next to eachother one running Pacifist/Winston the other WinUAE. Looking closely at the games the Amiga vesions often have more colors, far better scrolling (where the ST version sometimes has flip-screen...), more and better sounds.
But most importantly it has at least 3 times as much games available for it compared with the ST. Some of these games that aren`t available for the ST really rock and make good use of the Amiga`s capabilities. Maybe the authors didn`t use it to the full with other games so it could be easily ported to the ST.
I always thought the gap between the two systems wasn`t that big. Commodore should have done a much better marketing compaign.
If only Atari could have bought this gem when it had the change.....
The only objective reasons I can think of to emulate a ST instead of an Amiga i....
