wtf dont forget ATARI on this list

I remember bying my first 486 PC with windows 3.1 it was a ****ing downgrade from amiga and atari. Then come first beta of wiindows 95 and killed both atari and amiga. but I am still sure ataris os had a chance to win if not Microshit had marketikng windows like hell.

no it seems history will repeat and WP kills Meego and then Android in some year as mass market device in west.

but still I will buy n9 I will never buy wp****.
