For me, finally leaving my Amiga 3000 behind in the second half of the 90's for a Windows PC felt like stepping from a happy utopia back into the grim Dark Ages when it comes to productivity and being able to customize my workspace to my needs. But PC was where the games and frantic hardware progress happened (3D accelerators! Doom! Quake!), even if the 'productivity software' which ran on that hardware mostly sucked (every UI application was siloed away instead of cooperating - which unfortunately hasn't changed much).
