It's hard to explain what is so nice about it. Hell -- my Sun 3/50 at work multitasks like a sonofagun, but it takes *AGES* to switch windows compared to my Amiga. On the Amiga, as soon as I've clicked, I've switched (possibily even gone to another screen -- but that's another discussion). On the Sun, I switch -- wait, wait, wait -- Ah, the border's dark, I can type now. Probably an Amiga with Virtual Memory would be the same.
