Windows 95 was pretty uninteresting to me. The only thing it had over the Amiga was memory isolation, which wasn't seen as a big deal by most Amiga users at the time. In most other respects AmigaOS still beat the pants of Windows95, with things like Datatypes, deep Arexx integration in most applications etc. There are parts of AmigaOS I still miss.
What killed the Amiga apart from the Commodore bankruptcy was hardware costs and lack of viable 3D support on the low end far more than Windows 95.
