back before windows 95 launched, Microsoft had a marketing poster for it with the tag line “DOS is dead”, featuring an image of a tombstone with “C:\” on it.

atomicthumbs posted:actually, it sbeos i think youre right. beos was basically a clone of macosx, and i remember reading that gcc worked on the posix system in beos way back in the 90s. beos had an intuitive user interface with strong multimedia capabilities that had a unix compatable subsystem about 5 years before the first osx was released. it was thoroughly eaten by microsoft and apple though

BeOS was cool because one of the design goals was "pervasive multithreading" meaning that the all the BeOS APIs more or less forced you to split your application into separate threads for handling user input, redrawing the screen and whatever internal processing you were doing. Combined with multiprocessor support and preemptive multithreading in the kernel this made even the worst garbage programs feel extremely snappy and was pretty drat amazing back in 2001. If they had focused more on multiuser support and a tcp/ip stack worth a drat I think they could have still been around.

be was a great OS way ahead of its time design-wise. it also had no shot of ever catching on. this was in the full-on anti-competitive Windows bundling agreement days where PC makers couldn’t ship any other OS without paying Microsoft. There were no applications for it. it had a broken web browser, which was THE thing to have in the late 90’s. it had a mediocre third party word processor. no games. very limited hardware support (no modems worked with it) if they had a real budget to work on it and they could get past the Microsoft bundling hurdle (they couldn’t), they might have had a chance. they were dumb not to sell to Apple but also did the world a huge favor by not doing so.

also Be’s position on the fragile base class problem was “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” which isn’t exactly great for maintaining binary compatibility as a system evolves over the long term ObjC was very much NeXT’s secret weapon in that area because even though the old runtime still wouldn’t let you add ivars, you could add methods to a class at a whim, and also only expose to developers those methods you wanted to make available as API

Windows 3.1 to 95 was an increase of 91.9. Or even more amazingly, a 2964% gain.

yep. windows changed nothing, contributed nothing, is toxic and associated with broken poo poo, has languished and shits itself of any marginally regained credibility after every other release. its generally afailure OP. NeXT and its descendants macOS,iOS, etc reign supreme. silver star for android for lugging linux into millions of exploding chunks of plastic. that is also quite an accomplishment, OP.
