GeoWorks was a powerful yet mostly forgotten operating system once poised to rival Microsoft Windows. In fact, Microsoft saw its potential to such an extent that they tried to buy it, while Apple expressed interest in using it for their notebook computers. In this video, we explore its various iterations, from its Commodore 64 GEOS legacy to GeoWorks Ensemble, New Deal Office, and its final incarnation as Breadbox Ensemble. We delve into its unique features, the reasons for its decline, and its potential to have transformed the landscape of personal computing. Plus, discover how a dedicated team is working to revive GEOS for the 2020s!
