Ha, I got away. I pressed Cancel on all those tiny windows and my computer didn't restart.

The Amiga one must have been faked. There is no restart in Workbench.

Nice collection. Here is one to add:

I do not doubt that Mr. A500 twitches just at the Johnny Iveyness…

For some reason, that gif makes me stressed, lol.

Yep. They must have edited the requester for quitting Workbench - which doesn't shut off, just quits the file manager Workbench.
The restart animation also shows AmigaOS 1.3 when the window style is from AmigaOS 2.0.

There are some unusual restart sequences: Apple Rhapsody DR2 and Apple II GS.

I would have liked to see Irix, though. That one is nice.

Where's RISC OS? :(

[7bit]

Because of the reduced instruction set, there is no instruction for re-boot implemented.

Where's RISC OS?

great minds think alike i was just going to say that.

and RISC is awesome i don't know why x86 and x64 is still CISC almost everything else is RISC nowadays, acorn with the ARM architecture basically changed the world if we exclude the Z80, ARM and its variants are the most wildly used processors ever

z80s have been in or are in everything, its amazing they are STILL being made

that´s a nice collection, it is misssing one classic though that I saw A LOT on my Amiga:

While the instruction set is CISC on paper, most modern x86 chips decompile it into a series of more RISC-like operations that get scheduled and processed that way. A modern x86 processor is a RISC chip with a silly decoder in the front.

That's true, and all for the sake of binary compatibility to a 1981 shot-from-the-hip personal computer from IBM.
