Star Novell: 'The Standalone OS Is Dead'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 17th Apr 2008 21:53 UTC
Novell and Ximian Novell's Nat Friedman told InternetNews.com: "The basic concept here is that the standalone operating system is dead." Friedman is Novell's Chief Technology Officer. He added: "The days in which people buy operating systems on their own and then build a stack from there [...] will look like home-built automobiles in the future - people aren't going to do this anymore." This is not the first time some big company predicts the end of the traditional operating system.

There are videoclips on youtube showing people firing up a mac classic, launching claris works, type some stuff, save it and turn of the machine (I think it included that part aswell), and then compared to a new machine, and the new machine are SLOWER.


That, in part, is because ClarisWorks was very sweet.

I still have a SE/30 around to use it...
