Every FAILED Operating System Explained in Detail

Every FAILED Operating System Explained in Detail

Not every operating system becomes Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.

In this video, we dive into the biggest OS failures and explain why they died, from brilliant systems that were too early, to corporate projects that collapsed under politics and bad strategy.

You’ll learn what went wrong with:

???? IBM OS/2 – technically ahead of Windows, commercially invisible

???? BeOS – the multimedia dream OS with no hardware & no apps

???? Apple Copland – the internal disaster that led to macOS

???? Solaris – a Unix giant slowly strangled by acquisitions

???? Windows Mobile & Windows RT – when Microsoft misread mobile

???? BlackBerry OS & Symbian OS – kings of pre-iPhone smartphones

By the end, you’ll see a pattern: great engineering isn’t enough if timing, ecosystem, and strategy fail.
