After personal computers arrived in the 1970's they went through a series of revolutionary changes delivered by a series of different platforms. It's been over a decade since we've seen anything truly revolutionary, will we see a revolution again? I believe we could not only see revolution again, we could build it today.

I would point out that Apple's DOS, like Microsoft's (or Seattle Computer Products) is not an operating system, it is a file system. An OS has to provide, at a minimum, management support for memory use and processor scheduling (threading). DOS does neither and therefore does not meet the standard of a computer 'operating system'.
