Leads me to think why Amiga and BeOS were deemed "ahead of its time". Is it because they never had to worry about hardware compatibility? After all they were "selecting" their own hardware and concentrate solely on software.
If compatibility weren't an issue, we might have been very advanced right now. Seems like compatibility is what stopping everything from properly advancing, except hardware maybe?
