- bunderbunder 8y agoI'd argue that never even getting to shippable state is generally a worse failure than spending a few years on the market but never really taking off in any serious way.
- atombender 8y agoHow's that not failure? Copland was intended to be shipped as Mac OS 8. It did not ship. It was canceled, with almost all the money and work put into it (with the exceptions of self-contained tech like QuickTime) being completely wasted. It did not succeed. So it failed.
