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.

Hey, thanks for posting that story. Very cool. Like several others who visit this board, I enjoyed GEOS way back when...the early 90's. The old Ensemble really *did* fly on my puny 286 with 1 (!) meg of RAM. GeoWrite was just as good as people say...an excellent word processor on which I wrote thousands of pages of text. I do wish GEOS could've hung in there...very sweet GUI with killer code.
But run over by MS (old story, yes?)
Cheers,
Steve
