I wonder why people do not chose QDOS Classic as their main operating system.  Could it be:
1) It has not been improved for some years (so far as I know, since it was ported to the Q40)
2) It has no pointer environment, which many people are used to, and which is used by a vast majority of current programs (IS THIS STILL TRUE)??
3) It is difficult to get running and cannot access the same files on the hard disk as SMSQ/e (if you have a dual boot system).
4) It still contains bugs left over from QDOS, and lacks many of the facilities of SMSQ/e (multitasking BASICs, faster interpreter, SERMouse drivers)
 
I stand to be corrected on these comments on QDOS Classic and I am sure that George Gwilt would love a simple step by step guide as to how to set it up, so that we can find out why QWord cannot open its TurboPTR windows under it.
Oops forgot to add:
 
5) Does not support more than 8 colours - ie. no colour drivers have been developed for it
6) It only runs on the Amiga and Q40/Q60 computers.  Cannot be used on a standard QL, or any emulator except for the UAE Amiga emulator.
