My reasoning:
Beta vs VHS: more scan lines, higher resolution, smaller
cassette.
Sony's greed killed Beta. Ever wonder why TV stations STILL
use Beta?
OS/2 vs Windows: More crash resistant, better pre-emptive
multitasking, built-in voice recognition (OS/2 Warp 4 vs ANY
incarnation of Windows).
Word Perfect vs Word: Better table and column handling.
(Version
6 for each.)
Amiga vs PC: Sound and graphics were easily 5 years ahead of
the PC. The 1987 Amiga outperformed the 1992 PC for
commercial
video graphics generation.
