Windows and macOS died?

• ardy42 6y ago
  > macOS died Classic Mac OS died, and what they call "Mac OS" now is really NeXTSTEP.

    “Death” seems a bit dramatic in this context.

      > “Death” seems a bit dramatic in this context. Classic Mac OS is about as dead as software can get: it's no longer developed or developed for, there's no backwards compatibility in its successors, and they don't even make hardware that can run it anymore.

  Windows NT and MacOSX are both scratch rewrites. Though the author of the comment may be referring to the fact that Android and iOS dominate the space now.

    No no, I referred to your point precisely: both Win and Macos had to be rewritten from scratch at some point.
