Thinking off of the top of my head, I remember: DesqView386 OS/2 GeOS As windowable multi-tasking PC OS's (DesqView wasn't really an OS) from the same era as Windows 3.0. And these were the "readily available" ones, countless other less memorable options existed as well. Windows/Microsoft is a right place/right time bit of luck, coupled with a business savvy on Gates' part, story. The world of Personal Computers would have continued to evolve with or without Microsoft. And I personally believe the PC world would have likely been better off with the path things were on without Microsoft.
