To put things in perspective, the whole thing is that at that time computers were command line driven including internet. In order to use any system you had to learn a bunch of commands. Xerox experimented with and demonstrated an interface that used a graphic terminal and a pointing device. This was revolutionary and opened the path of universal accessibility to virtually all, including grandma. Of course there would be changes and improvements by others, a current Ford Focus (a rather nice car), doesn't look much like the Model A, but the idea is the same. The same can be said for the guy that came up with the browser, with it everybody can use the internet. As for Linux, good, but not for everyone and won't be until people like Dell etc. start making it for general use. But then it might cost, and paying for things isn't something Linux people like to do, which is why your favourite desktop programs and other stuff don't make it to that platform. But gimp, scribus and libre office are quite usable. Put it this way, if Macs and Windows didn't exist, we would all use Linux but why bother when we have one of the former.

This actually works both ways, some people have no problem with the Mac,
but Windows baffles them completely.

There should be room for all 3 operating system without people acting
like a bunch of first graders about which one is the best. IMO, all 3
meet different needs, and appeal to a different set of users.
It's when you get into an argument over which on is best, which one is
largest, etc., that all reason seems to fly out the window. <------ No
pun intended. LOL

The last crash of the WinOS I had was in Win95. WinME, WinXP and Win7
have crashed programs, and they have struggled to cope when I have had
umpty zillion things running at once but I haven't had a total crash
(apart from maybe one city-wide power cut) since about 1997.
Windows being flakier than OSX or Linux is a myth.
>> Macintosh - it's like being at the DMV - the rules only make sense to Mac

Apple do things differently from MS just because they can and just to
*BE* different. Little things like where the scroll arrows on a window
are by default and naming conventions, the "Enterprise" and
"Knotty-rope" keys and "Finder" instead of "Explorer".
It doesn't matter who got there first, the two of them could have got
together in a room and *standardised* some of that stuff.
Does anyone see that ever happening?

I don't see why. All an OS is is a way of running stuff. They are
pretty much all the same. Sure, names and locations of clickies differ
greatly and some aren't graphical but they all pretty much allow a
human to tell the hardware to change state.
Read data, process, output, next.
Once you've used any OS, all of the others should be easy to pick up.
At least enough to be able to browse, email and run videos of cats
dancing in boxes.

As do mainframe OSes, supercomputer OSes, embedded OSes in Apollo
command modules and sugary drinks vending machines and millions of
others. *Nixxy, Mac and Win OSes may get all the attention in these
newsgroups but there are many, many others and some are *vital* to our
lives.
An OS is "best" when it does the job.
It is "sub-optimal" when it does not.
And you are right, there is adequate room for all.

A user thought he was funny so he submitted a pun into the Annual Pun
Contest. He was not the champion. Disapponted but not discouraged he
tried again the next year. He still did not make the highest ranks. So
he tried again the year after that, again without much success.
He submitted his puns into the contest for a solid decade, never
giving up.
None of his efforts won anything.
Indeed, no pun in ten did.
