Seems an AI compiled video?
The content was great. However, the narration was a little too monotone and not pleasant.
We all miss the days of proper choice, proper competition, proper management... Older than admit chap here... Its missing. Best mate had st... i had 500+ Both greats by atari and commodore... I remember earning money getting a 1200 , the falcon was cool and some respects out specced the aforementioned amiga... They both lost to microsoft, apple on other hand adapted. Everyone else is so dependant on both that they forget to appreciate linux/bsd.. Lets now purchase some popcorn as intel/arm/nvidia battle love and hate each other .. We need to watch these films, critique/give opinion... Thank you for making this video... Ps i would recomend that everyone does what i have not done... learn and respect all operating systems.. epecially when i have not learnt one... May God grace you for reading this, after all it is the grace of God that lets me send. Lets enjoy our technical marvels properly, by choice and critique
Thank God we don't have 50 different os today
Nice how you left out mentioning Atari.
Was that the Atari ST{?} shown? That was a wicked little machine, although the cheap plastic feel did not inspire confidence.
And I’ve still never owned a Microsoft Windows computer….
this was like watching a movie. the quality is at par with documentaries from national geographic, discovery and other big channels. Superb.
Windows, as an OS for non-corporate PCs, is finished. Corporations can afford to upgrade their machines to run Windows 11, everybody else either can't afford to, or doesn't see the point. Tablets and phones now have the home market. When end of support for Windows 10 happens later this year, millions of desktops and laptops will be going to Linux or landfill.
Uhhh, no, as long as people still play windows native games on the PC. I always want a Apple Silicon Mac, but the system still have limited numbers of games, so I had to go back to Windows.
Bro, I use Linux too (Mint/Ubuntu) but I don't think that day is going to be coming soon. Linux, as it stands, is mostly for nerds and servers. Especially the latter.
Linux Mint is the perfect operating system for these systems. Installation is a breeze and it has a far superior update system. It also has an enormous amount of legacy drivers. I have it on various brand machines over a decade old. I am not a gamer, but apparently it works there as well. You do need to turn off all background processes though.
Win XP and Win 7 still run just fine. Win 10 will too. Desktop Linux is a horrendous waste of time. Customers managed to kill Vista and Win 8 because the non-DEI leadership felt the pressure. Win 11 is junk just like Vista and 8, but we'll get something like 7 in the end.
Windows was the worst operating system at any time frame believe me.
Look at the stare, sane or not. Would the Darkside by its depth of wisdom welcome such knowing it has its own camouflaged for the heights of rivalries and treasons dominate in the dark for power and throne, the syndicates themselves secretly look for those they can trust and hate eliminate the traitors per org. in its brutal real image of elimination by letting them jump the brawn and ruthless cover of their chemistry of poison test who could possibly grab their throne the intermingling process of the friends for benefits manufactured chemistry for there's no monopoly in the dark of schemes and games they tend to watch behind the shadows likened to a jungle of trap and predate.
Indian AI reproduction slop.
Many things are inaccurate. Windows conquered every other computer OS because of MS DOS. Most of the OSs discussed like AmigaOS or MacOS were tied to certain HW and one manufacturer. Only two OSs were truly multi-HW , CP/M and MS-DOS. When IBM created the IBM-PC, every corporate office wanted them to run spreadsheets. Because MS-DOS wasn't made exclusive, once IBM BIOS got reverse-engineered multiple manufacturers could make compatible systems in all shapes and sizes. Compatibility with IBM PC killed CP/M in the corporate world. In the home, PC clones became competitive with Commodore and Atari up to the point that both of those produced not only their signature systems but also PC clones. Then, one HW fail could kill a manufacturer but MS-DOS was unkillable. Windows is just the icing on the cake - it gave users the graphics UI they wanted while being compatible with all the DOS stuff.
Lots of small technical errors, inaccuracies and inconsistencies in this. e.g. Where was Windows 3.1 and 3.11? They outsold 3.0 quickly and were a lot of people's introduction to Windows.
"However, before Xerox could capitalize on their invention, a fierce war broke out between companies like IBM, Apple and Microsoft a for dominance in the burgeoning desktop operating system market". OK, that's just a load of Gen BS. It's general knowledge that Xerox dumped billions into R&D through out the 1960's and 1970's and also made some level of effort to sell the systems developed at Xerox PARC but ultimately, they were too expensive for their customers to experiment with a completely new way of running and managing an office, which was designed to minimize or eliminate the use of paper and use networked microcomputer workstations to do all sorts things that sounded like sci-fi. Also, ultimately, Xerox is a photocopier and laser printer ink, photocopy machine, laser printer and copy paper corporation, so the management and sales deparments considered the PARC campus and it's new fantangled creations a risk to their business, and were unwilling to market or further develop the technolgy. They also demonstrated the systems to all sorts of people from Silicon Valley and prestigous tech colleges and universities.9 And, then about _ten_ _years_ _later_ the "war" you mention started. Because it took that long for PCs to go from 8bit microntrollers that LARP being computers, into actually worthwhile tools capapble of actually doing what the Xerox systems did. Oh, wait. There's this company called Sun Microsystems (Standford University Network) that did a graphical workstation that was economically accessible, in 1979-81 for only a couple of thousand dollars. Only a couple of years after Xerox's 10k monolith. That thing was the genesis of Silicon Graphics Inc and Sun (today owned and depricated by Oracle) and none of these toys you're talking about had anything to do with it.
Now let's see Paul Allen's business card...
IBM and Microsoft did Gary Kildall so dirty he ended up going into a personal emotional tailspin that contributed to his early death in 1994
The statement about OS/2 being developed solely for IBM-branded computers is not factual. It was licensed the same way MS-DOS was. IBM released their IBM-branded version of OS/2 specifically for IBM during the OS/2 1.x era. However, each OEM could release a branded version of MS OS/2 for their system. I have a copy of Tandy OS/2 1.0 that was designed to run on the Tandy 3000 and 4000.
Sadly He apparently crushed 3dfx too in giving His cash for the xbox project at nvdia.
I wouldn't dare say a bad thing about a man as powerful as Bill, let alone make a negative video about him. What I will say is capitalism, especially at the highest level is a game played by those who play to win at all costs, Bill has always played to win as it was in his competitive nature to do so. I respect and admire him, think about how Michael Jordan played basketball in his era, compared to how NBA players play it now, that's the way I see it.
Windows has LOST ... the mobile platforms such as IOS and Android. Computers are not cool. Phones are. Windows is as cool as a greenscreen IBM mainframe os now lol.
They even lost the web browser race to Google.
windows only usage is as a gaming pc nothing else and i wouldn't use windows for gaming because it sucks as an operating system. We feel nostalgy about commodore , Amiga , old macs , os2 warp , beos but nobody will feel nostalgy for windows because everyone knows what it stands for. Bill Gates is the proof how rich can you be stealing from other people and also how rich you can be by other people's work (India outsource)
@@johnandrewtube With how greedy Nvidia and motherboard makers are the console is taking over again as we back tracked 20 years of progress. Gaming on PC will be niche in 5 years as the 2 ps5s can be purchased with 1 GPU. No PC or monitor included. Citrix and vdi on tablets will be normal in 5 to 10 years as intune and other mdm solutions obsolete active directory for legacy win32 apps
Good luck enjoying a game on a phone. As well as programming, or graphics work or any type of professional technical work on a Phone. Computers have just went back to the geeks where they belong.
Someday, Microsoft's empire will fall. They will fight dirty (as they always have), but all empires eventually fall. It's just a matter of when and how.
They already have. Microsoft is very pro Linux now and supports open source software and makes things like Visual Studio Code for Linux and Linux for Azure. IBM was once scary too before they became more pro open source. MS lost with Windows Phone and they know it. WSL is now on Windows to compete with the Mac and as long as people run Azure they do not care what os is the guest.
microsoft windows got popular because of the stupid and impotent devs and the shitty software they were making. Ms Dos was a clone of DrDos he stole Dos , windows is a copy of mac osx Windows is not a good operating system it sucks and always sucked and it was the worst operating system in any time-frame !
@@timothygibney159 Agreed there even Wine the Windows compatibility layer is running Windows applications in some cases better than Windows now without all the bloatware overhead the OS now has. Only thing standing in the way of Linux really taking over is the fragmentization of Distros and the Polarizing community it has.
@@CCJ1998 Linux lacks mdm mobile device management for corps is it's weakness. Basically it is active directory replacements and can do data governance and wiping and auto installing apps. Android, iOS, and windows has it. I think Android may be better for this reason for business on the tablet or desktop when Windows dies. Microsoft may make shitty operating systems but they make good business software like office and ok software tools. I want them like IBM to port office and visual studio for Android and iOS
Technically, Commodore crushed itself. Mistakes with developing things like the TED line and C65 without reaching market, and not marketing the Amiga well, Yes, PC and Windows was taking over but Commodore went bankrupt before Windows 95, and really even before NT 3.51 as things were already going downhill for Commodore by then, before Windows was being shipped with every PC.
I still maintain that Atari <> Commodore. They basically murdered each other. Both kept trying to out price the other until there was very little innovation, and even when the new generation of machines finally came out, it was way too little and way too late (although the Falcon is a seriously awesome machine, it needed a full 32bit bus, instead of being an upgrade to the ST, it should have been an upgrade to the TT).
I would hardly ever suggest this, but you really need to use a text-to-speech program, or a different one. Your accent is atrocious to listen to.
i agree. seriously impossable to listen to.
tbh i'd rather listen to his voice than a tts
Amazing. Thank you!

Microsoft cheated. In order to outperform compeditors; Microsoft failed to inform programmers of it's rivals that higher performance commands were availble in the language; Microsoft kept these secret giving Excel and Word better performance. Had Microsoft provided rivals with these undocumented commands, it would have been very difficult for Microsoft to "excell". Given the much more significant installed base of Lotus 123 and WordPerfect Microsoft would have had difficulty getting customers to jump ship. Compounding this; Microsoft was developing Windows and they had inside information as to how that would work so their developers had another jump on the competition who would have to play catchup after Windows came out.

Don't let the terrible job of adding Sybase's logo into the video make you think this is anything but an amazing job of explaining the early-1980s database situation. Also why do I feel like I'm trying to not sound like an AI bot?
Commodore 64 users (including myself) didn't want to abandoned their collection of software, the biggest software base of any computer at the time. I did upgrade to a Commodore 128D and used it into the 90's a bit beyond when Commodore filed for Bankruptcy. I would have jumped on the C65 if it had ever released. a 16-bit computer that will still run Commodore 64 software. But Commodore was worried it would cut into Amiga 500 sales and dropped it, even though it was far enough along for some developers to get units. What Commodore hadn't anticipated, were those C64 and C128 users who hadn't got an Amiga, and some that have and bounced between both would have all jumped on the C65. Another worry Commodore had with making another computer with a Go64 mode were developers just making C64 software since it has the larger base of C64 and C128. This was an obvious problem with the C128. But we're talking one 8-bit computer mode and another 8-bit computer mode with the same video chip, and technically games won't look any better in 128 mode. But the C65 offered more, a video chip with thousands of colors, greater resolution, it had the incentive needed to get devs to move away from the C64 mode. While the Amiga had the the graphics, it really sucked at emulating a Commodore 64. But twards the end of Commodore's run, I was saving for an Amiga 1200. But before I had enough to spare, Commodore went away, so the money was spent to build myself a clone. Commodore, while they had great commercials, it just wasn't enough marketing, when we got to the 90s. The Amiga was eons above other computers, even PCs. But there's just wasn't enough out there telling people that. But also, there's were other things that worked against Commodore. As the 16-bit and 32-bit eras came, other computer manufacturers were dealing less with MOS technologies. Apple and Atari dropping their 8-bit lines, etc. This also cut into Commodore badly. I do find it ironic that the C128 and C128D were dropped, and the only reason why the C64 was dopped years later, ids because Commodore couldn't afford to manufacture anything. There were unassembled parts for both C64s and Amigas left in the factory, they couldn't pay anyone just to assemble the parts that were already there.
Yes, I never heard about the c65, that sounds like what they needed. I love the C64 but needed something more powerful after a while and as a kid I could never afford the Amiga no matter how much I wanted one. They needed a much improved C64 replacement that was backwards compatible but which also offers more memory and performance. The price gat between the C64 and the Amiga was too large. They also didn't let the Amiga easily run on the TV screen and the added cost of the special monitor didn't help.
"Stole"?
in a creative sense of the word :)
Some of the comments are interesting. It would also be interesting to see what their opinions are about Android and iOS. One guy here even said Windows was built from the ground up with no connection to the Mac GUI. 😂 It doesn’t matter in the end of course, the tech market was hardly about the best tech winning. All about lowest cost and speed to market. I have been watching this space since the 1970s.
Most tech hot takes about these histories are written by people who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
Psion also provided a lot of the productivity software for the Sinclair QL! I had the 5mx too and I used it for mobile programming - as I was spending a lot of time in Hospital in the late 90s, early 20s, so it was my geek home away from home. I wrote little apps like a flash card system for learning German. Later on, Ditto for the Google G1 - with its slide out and surprisingly good (for its time) Qwerty keyboard and even a mouseball, I managed to get it working (as fair as code was concerned) as a palmtop Unix workstation. Mostly non-graphical, but the geek chique of having a handheld and functionally *useful* Unix terminal , and even a (slow but working) C interpreter/compiler, was just amazing! I miss those days, and I'd love to see a resurgence of palmtop computing, modern CLI tech has come on leaps and bounds and to my scenarios, it's harder to find some I *cant* achieve!
Steve Jobs is one of the most overrated public figures in history that has remained well-known a little because of stupid hipster teenagers: He was a salesman, not an innovator as he never invent shit. He was a hippie and advocate of simple living but as soon as he became rich he adopted the lifestyle of a billionaire, then he got pancreatic cancer (a rich man's disease, caused by eating too much alcohol especially of the aged type, meat and fats) and he disdained medical advice arrogantly thinking he was smarter than doctors and so tried to cure himself following healthy vegan diets and practicing yoga along other bullshit, when he want back to his doctor a scan revealed his cancer had spread and he had only months to live, only then did his stupid ass start chemotherapy (so he basically killed himself because he was too arrogant, it was as if he thought he was special and the universe wouldn't allow someone as special as him to die of cancer like a regular peasant). He was also disgusting and during his first Apple tenure he was rejected by everyone because he liked to stick his feet in the toilet and flush it because he found it relaxing like hydrotherapy and he could spend 2 weeks without showering. Worse still, he was incredibly stupid which is why Bill Gates duped him while the board of the company he created fired him, he was dishonest and stole the concept of personal computers from Xerox and the know-how to create cellphones from Motorola, and all he gave us were overpriced and overengineered products like the iPhone and he's still venerated only by the stupid and shallow attention-seeking millennials who were young when it came out.
this story is garbage, and everyone knows it except the idiot making this rubbish up
Just like in Apple. Jobs was the businessman & his partner was the engineer.
exactly!
To me C-128 had only one command . “GO 64” :-)
That's all the game devs saw. But when the C128 uses the same VIC-II chip as the C64 mode, the game just couldn't look any better than it would in C64 mode, so the incentive just wasn't there.
