This just my thought though but think that ever y computer user is looking for an OS that doesn't affected by a Virus. An OS that can be open to any user. That can generate at full operation even thought you just have a low computer specs. Finally universal and affordable by anyone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[regie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 11th 2009 9:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 10 'Coulda-Been-Windows' Operating Systems That Never Took Off...]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/10-coulda-been-windows-operating-systems-that-never-took-off/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/10-coulda-been-windows-operating-systems-that-never-took-off/</guid><description><![CDATA[regie- What are you talking about?  This is about basically when DOS users turned to Windows.  MacOS was still transitioning from version 6-7, it certainly wasn't virus proof. BeOS for PPC was a great operating system, but Apple quite deliberately killed it off, making the newer hardware incompatible. If not, they might have had a chance to maintain a user base after porting it to Intel.  IBM killed CP/M with DOS.  They thought they could count on the little company MicroSoft to tow the party line and co-operate developing OS/2. M$ backed out of the project and IBM fell on very hard financial times.  There were also a variety of incompatible proprietary Unixes , whose owners couldn't co-operate enough to compete with Windows. Coherent OS was one of these.  In fact, without M$ ruthlessly crushing the competition, Linux might never have got beyond university classrooms.  I wonder if Apple made MacOS backwards compatible with Prodos from the Apple 2s, they might have caught up to M$, who wisely made Win compatible with DOS]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cristobal DeLicia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2009 6:53PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
