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.

I used GEOS on the C64 and thought it was great, but Geoworks on the PC was something else again. I was sure it was the work of magicians! There were standard features in Geoworks ten years ago that still haven't made it into mainstream operating systems even now (and they were useful too)
