5 operating systems have been forgotten

There are still operating systems that are not 'dead', only in Windows too common. But among them, including Microsoft products, is the "father" of Windows.

In fact, OS / 2 has never died - Banco do Brasil has 10,000 machines running OS / 2 since the 1990s - and technically you can still buy them. But don't!

NextStep (1989)

When NeXT developed an operating system to run on its computers, developers made sure that the most important factor to succeed was that it contained many uncommon technologies, which only attracted developers. other.

Therefore, this operating system is based on Unix with a PostScript graphics engine - a subject-oriented application layer and integration of Objective-C runtime. This operating system casually includes pretty good features like 3D holographic graphics and ironically, it ultimately helps Apple's OS X operating system. Nobody knows how to commercialize this operating system and consequently NextStep, NeXTstep and NeXTSTEP, all of which are not officially recognized.

RISC OS (1989)

This is the first major operating system to prevent real-time font disturbance and includes a much better paint program than MS Paint and better text editing than Notepad. The British can be proud of having the British RISC operating system even though few people in the world know it.

BeOS (1995)

BeOS is an operating system that started being Be Inc. developed in 1991. First, it was written to run on BeBox hardware. Unlike some other operating systems at the time, BeOS was written to take advantage of modern, optimized hardware for digital multimedia work. BeOS is positioned to be a competitive platform with MS-Windows and Linux. However, in the end it could not reach the market as expected and the company Be Inc. taken by US mobile phone company Palm. Today, BeOS is primarily developed and used by a small group of people.

Microsoft Bob (1995)

In other words, Microsoft Bob provides a new, non-technical PC interface for users. Despite the ambitious goal, Bob failed to penetrate the market and was a tangible failure of Microsoft. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer publicly acknowledged Bob as an unsuccessful project and better than stopping.
