Sun seems to raise this question in my mind more than any other. On this occassion it was “why didn’t Sun win the battle for the desktop?”
This film, from 1992, might explain why…
bear in mind when watching this that…
Windows 3.x had been out for 2 years already
Columbo was more than 24 years old
Logan’s Run and Battlestar Galactica were old hat and even Star Wars was 15 years old!
And that’s the best that “the talents of more than 100 engineers, designers, futurists, and filmakers.” could come up with!
