Jean-Louis Gassee: The OS Doesn’t Matter

Once upon a time, operating systems used to matter a lot; they defined what a computer could and couldn’t do… Today, there’s only one operating system: Unix (okay, there are two, but we’ll get to that). This is why I contend that the OS doesn’t matter – or that we need to take another look at the word’s content, at what we mean when we say ‘Operating System’.
