Community Feedback

Some community members have praised the effort that has gone into creating the museum, but also pointed out some potential issues.

Impressive curation effort. One comment: at least a few of the examples in the gallery seem to be of the ‘last, greatest’ version, which actually isn’t necessarily the greatest, and definitely not the most interesting.

Others have noted that some operating systems are missing, such as Pick.

No Pick? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system My first actual job was working for a local health authority here in the UK, and they had a Pick computer running some database application thing, I think to do with accounting.

Conclusion

The virtual museum of operating systems is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of computing.
