Ping to SM, just to be fair.

Wintel, Apple, they all suck.

I wish “B” would have caught on... (lol)

Or NeXT... (more lol)

Windows 8 pissed me off so badly that I finally installed Ubuntu on a couple of older machines. I like it.

I also like Windows 10, so I'm still on the fence.

Actually, BeOS and NeXT are both represented (the latter more strongly in implementation, the former more in philosophy) in Apple's OS X.

It's much the same as how Dave Cutler's experience at DEC doing VAX VMS had a tremendous influence on Windows NT. Under the hood, Win NT looked a LOT like VMS... I kinda wish it had retained that flavoring. I really enjoyed working on the VAX 11/780, and DCL is still one of my favorite commandline languages.

BeOS was pretty mind blowing!

I still remember this episode of Computer Chronicles back in the 90s and was floored by it.
