Original OSNews Interviews It is always an honour to interview people who have 'served' and worked on operating systems at the "golden" times of the operating systems, the '80s and pre-Win9x days. Today we interview Adam de Boor, who was the CTO at GeoWorks, developers of the GEOS, in the begining of the last decade. Adam today works for OpenWave Systems. We discuss about GeoWorks, its past, its future, where it should have been.

You only needed the special boot disk to run GEOS on the Commodore 64/128, and maybe the Apple ][ version. The version that ran on top of MS-DOS would boot from the hard drive.

I used both the Commodore 64 version in the '80s, and the PC version in the '90s. Both were amazing pieces of programming.
