Charles, I think other factors also come into play when you start dealing with "alternative operating systems" in general. Basically, what I feel it boils down to is this: How many applications, such as games, text editors, desktop publishing, web browsers and the like are being developed for that operating system. In my many years of tinkering with these computer gadgets, this one factor seems to play the largest role in determining the success or failure of a potential operating system. That is why DOS is still alive and kicking, despite what MS and others would lead people to believe. Linux is growing in this area also. The list of "once upon a time" OSes is quite large. Perhaps this is why the Oberon project seems to be remaining more or less a university only type operating system. At least you can say that you DID try it!
