Windows was a moat but it looks more like an anchor now.
- symfrog 9mo agoWindows' moat was not the operating system code, but that they were able to get distribution via IBM, and then grow an ecosystem of applications that were targeted at Windows, which created a snowball effect for further applications.
- softwaredoug 9mo agoYes though still it was a big barrier to build an OS.
