If things had turned out slightly differently, Microsoft's 32-bit OS in the 1990s would have been Unix.
- lproven 3y agoYes, absolutely, and what a different world it would be. OTOH, the GNU project nearly adopted the BSD4.4-Lite kernel. Then Linux would never have happened. Or, if DR hadn't been screwed over by Intel... Or, if Apple aimed the Lisa lower, or the Mac higher... Or, if Xerox knew what it had and successfully sold it... So many "what ifs"...
