The little-known, look for operating system-the operating system of the nine disappeared, Symbian,MSDOS, Microsoft-IT news The little-known, looking for nine disappeared in operating system
Has a sentence rather ridicule words called "go themselves of road let others no road can go", if will this sentence words put to PC industry in the, Wintel Union apparently is this sentence words best of Executive who, both of strong together ruled has PC market near 20 years, for now of mass groups for, rarely opportunities can selected to and Wintel completely not detached of products, even you is faithful of fruit powder, its internal is configuration has Intel cool core series processor.
Although Apple nearly two years in the PC market news, but still Mac OS compared with Windows systems belonging to minority groups, which accounted for 90% of the market. Of course, the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day, historically a large number of OS (operating system) to challenge Windows launched or launch sooner, but now lost in history, knowing they only through aftertaste that year's glory.
Disappearing operating systems MS-DOS
Listing date: 1981
Developer: Microsoft
Many people may know that Windows creates the world's richest man Bill Gates and Windows were created by Microsoft way above market value records, few people know for a fact that MS-DOS was Microsoft's first real pot of gold.
However, MS-DOS is not Microsoft's masterpiece, it belonged to a Seattle computer programmer named Tim Paterson products company, which took four years to write the 86-DOS operating system, while Microsoft in 1981 with a cost of $ 50,000 to the Seattle computer products company purchased this product all copyright, and renamed it MS-DOS.

MS-DOS 1 went public in 1981, Microsoft's partnership with IBM, install DOS on the IBM PC sold bundles on sale at support for 16k memory and 160k 5-inch floppy disk. Expensive hardware, software is not in the public eye time and Bill Gates as Microsoft's central figure, a visionary seize this unique chance. Laid in system market, Microsoft's dominance in the future.

The saying goes, "Changjiang River waves dying on the beach", as Microsoft sees the light from Windows, so much so that MS-DOS renounced after last version was launched in 2000 to bring its operating system in the first pot of gold.
Disappearing operating systems AmigaOS
Time to market: 1985
Developer: Commodore
Today we're talking about gaming PC, high resolution keywords can be described as normal, however how many people knew the first game specifically designed for color computer at any moment? Yes, it was listed in 1985 by Commodore Business Machines.
Amiga personal computer (source: computercloset)
In 1982, the Commodore Business Machines after the acquisition of Amiga Corporation, introduced in 1985, the Amiga market. Amiga computers for high resolution, fast graphics response multimedia tasks, especially for games specifically designed, which was one of the first generation computer with true color display, comes with AmigaOS system, equipped with a Motorola 680x0 series processors.

Although in today's count for nothing, but at the time, carried the Commodore AmigaOS system is the most powerful personal computers, even jobs represents AmigaOS strong enough to keep him awake, but due to poor management throughout the enterprise, AmigaOS died prematurely, I do not know if AmigaOS met operators like Steve jobs or Bill Gates, of Microsoft or Apple will still be where we are today.
Disappearing operating systems OS/2
Time to market: 1987
Developer: IBM, Microsoft
In this world there is no permanent friends, there is no permanent enemies, only interests forever, while the Wintel Alliance succeeded in replacing IBM company's dominance in the personal computer market, but many may not know, Microsoft and IBM were once business partners.
OS/2 operating system interface (source: toastytech)
Such as the OS/2 operating system, was developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM and released, given the DOS on the PC after the huge success of, as well as GUI graphical interface to flow under the influence of IBM and Microsoft jointly launched OS/2. Its listing in December 1987, 2005 out of the market.

But IBM and Microsoft together is very short, OS/2 was originally developed by Microsoft is primarily responsible for, but because of the difference in so many ways, OS/2 was eventually abandoned in favor of Microsoft developing Windows System. OS/2 is also considered the predecessor of Windows.
Disappearing OS Arthur
Developer: Acorn Computers
Acorn PC companies not familiar to many people, but if the editor told you the famous ARM used to be a division of Acorn, you will be able to this company is awesome. Acorn computers was founded in 1978 and headquartered in Cambridge, England, and its contribution for the PC industry in the early 80 's as much as today's Apple.
Acorn Archimedes computers (source: RegMedia)
Until 1991, Acorn ARM before departments split, formed the ARM company, at the time, ARM is defined as heterogeneous, because neither produces chips don't sell chips, which sells only chip technology licensing, I have to say, Intel neutralizes its long until smartphones after a huge expansion, ARM before becoming King of the mobile market.

And Arthur was an original Acorn Archimedes machines actually used by the operating system, which is owned by Acorn's first general purpose home computer, the first version of Arthur, released in 1987, but due to development time is too short, only 5 months that its completion is not good enough, hold until the year 1989, stopped production only.
Disappearing operating systems BeOS
Listing date: 1991
Developer: Be firm
This system of naming and naming style of the entire company, which more or less is a little Apple's shadow, in practice, however, Be apples served as controller of the company founded by Gassee in the early 90 's years.
BeBox hardware products (source: applefritter)
May BeOS this not should appeared in disappeared operating system of ranks, because in 90 generation early, Apple into has cannot launched new operating system Copland of dilemma, intended in market in the looking for alternative products, think gold timing comes again plus some self-confidence expansion, Gassee out 400 million dollars of price, let Apple computer can using BeOS, but Apple to out of limit price for 200 million dollars, eventually led to negotiations rupture.

Since then, the fate of both companies went to the two-level, due to Be company's asking price is too high, and Apple eventually acquired NeXTSTEP company, got Steve jobs, Apple to glory has laid a solid foundation in the future. Be, and there is not much improvement, culminating in 2001 was acquired by Palm company with 11 million, also announced the end of BeOS.
Disappearing operating systems XTS-400
Listing date: 1992
Developer: BAE
BAE is the full name is the United Kingdom Aerospace Corporation, in 1999 and the merger of Marconi electronic systems for BAE Systems, is one of the world's largest military company after the merger, company has first-class capabilities provided by the system as a whole, while XTS-400 are BAE company before the merger to launch your operating system.

XTS-400 is a multilevel security computer operating system, it is a multiuser and multitasking system, work in a network environment to support Gigabit Ethernet and supports both IPv4 and IPv6. XTS-400 is an X86 hardware and safe and credible work plan (STOP) operating system combination.
In 1999, merged into BAE Systems (source: theiet)
XTS-400 is noted for its extremely high safety, United States military use continues to be XTS-400 later.
Lost operating system Inferno
Time to market: 1996
Developer: Bell Labs
Many people may know about Inferno operating system, was first founded in 1995 by members of the computer science research Department of Bell Labs for thinking of the broader plan Nineth produced on device and network use, Inferno applications can be ported to most on a mixture of hardware, the network, environment.

Inferno was introduced in 1996, but three years later it closed and was sold to Vitanuova,itanuova the relevant rights, and will continue to develop and commercialize an unauthorized manner throughout the system, then provided free downloads, and other than the core and virtual machine system as a whole to adopt non-GPL-compatible licensing. Vitanuova continue porting to new hardware and the software focused on distributed application software, eventually using GPLv2 licensing the source code release, and Inferno operating system now may turn out to be an open source project.
Disappearing operating systems Palm OS
Developer: Palm company
Palm OS must not alien, which was Palm an operating system developed specifically for PDA, most glorious time accounted for 90% of the PDA market share, although it is not specific to mobile phone design, but good and Palm OS for mobile devices support the same mobile phone operating system to enable it to be an excellent.

Due to launch over Apple's Newton, makes the Palm OS has achieved great success, and after that, he was licensed by IBM, Sony and Handspring, makers, used in its products. Palm OS operating system with the ease of use for the sake of, less memory and processor resources to operational requirements, is fast but does not support multiple threads, long-term development is restricted.
Palm weakness is that poor Web experience (source: intense)
In addition, the later Microsoft introduced the Windows CE operating system, as well as specifically for the Pocket PC Pocket PC Edition 2002,Palm of the sharp decline in market share, and after slowly up the Smartphone, because Palm OS Internet performance is weak, eventually being eliminated by the market.
Lost operating system of Symbian
Listing date: 1998
Developer: Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Pison
For the author, and disappear in all operating systems, Symbian (Symbian) will act as the sad mood I, after all, post like editing, Symbian system is the last witness of his prime years.
Symbian Nokia (source: geeky-gadgets)
Probably most people mention Symbian system would think once the first giants Nokia, in fact, in 1998, Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola and Psion's Symbian company was established under the joint collaboration, the first Symbian system mobile phone was introduced in 2000, model for Ericsson R380.
Finally a Symbian system mobile phone Nokia 808 PureView (source: tabletsecompanhia)
Until 2008 Nokia acquired Symbian Limited after Symbian Nokia's exclusive system is no doubt Nokia Symbian system achievements. However, with the potential of smart phones, Android and iOS occupies nearly an entire market, Symbian can be reduced and compete in low-level embedded operating system of the phone, therefore, Nokia confirmed in 2012, fourth quarter earnings, 808 PureView is the last paragraph of its Symbian system mobile phone, Symbian is dead. Accompanied by the generation of the player's memories, on the end of a glorious era.
Article Summary:
If it disappears from the editing point of view to comment on these operating systems, can be described as five, called "missing in the beautiful", we do not need to grieve at their departure, since this is the era of technological development, advancement and the corollary to the workings of the market, was wiped out in a sense that they are no longer suitable for demands of the times.
鲜为人知，寻找九大消失的操作系统 - 操作系统,Symbian,MSDOS,微软 - IT资讯鲜为人知，寻找九大消失的操作系统
有一句颇为调侃的话叫做“走自己的路让别人无路可走”，如果将这句话放到PC行业中，Wintel联盟显然是这句话最好的执行者，两者的强强联手统治了PC市场近20年，对于如今的大众群体来说，鲜有机会能够选到与Wintel完全不沾边的产品，就算你是忠实的果粉，其内部也是配置了英特尔酷睿系列处理器。
虽然苹果近两年在PC市场捷报频传，但Mac OS相比于Windows系统来说依然属于小众群体，后者占据了90%的市场。当然，俗话说罗马并不是一天建成的，历史上曾经有众多OS（操作系统）向Windows发起过挑战，或者是推出时间要更早，但如今都消失在历史长河中，只有通过回味才能知晓它们当年的辉煌。
消失操作系统之MS-DOS
上市时间：1981年
开发商：微软
可能很多人都知道是Windows创造了世界首富比尔·盖茨，也是Windows让微软创造了难以企及的市值纪录，那很少有人知道实际上MS-DOS才是微软真正意义上的第一桶金。
不过MS-DOS并不是微软的杰作，它属于一名西雅图电脑产品公司名叫蒂姆·帕特森的程序员，其用了四年时间编写出了86-DOS操作系统，而微软在1981年以五万美元的代价向西雅图电脑产品公司购得本产品的全部版权，并将它更名为MS-DOS。

MS-DOS 1.0在1981年上市，微软与IBM合作，在IBM销售的PC上安装DOS进行捆绑发售，支持16k内存及160k的5寸软盘。在硬件昂贵，软件并不为人们所注意的时代，比尔·盖茨作为微软的核心人物，相当有远见的抓住了这次绝佳的机会。奠定了未来微软在系统市场的霸主地位。

俗话说“长江后浪推前浪前浪死在沙滩上”，由于微软看到了Windows带来的曙光，以至于MS-DOS在2000年推出了最后一个版本后宣布放弃这个给其带来第一桶金的操作系统。
消失操作系统之AmigaOS
上市时间：1985年
开发商：Commodore
在今天我们说游戏电脑、高分辨率等关键词可谓再正常不过了，然而有多少人知道第一款对游戏进行专门设计的彩屏电脑出现在什么时候？没错，其就是在1985年上市的Commodore Business Machines。
Amiga个人电脑（图片来源：computercloset）
1982年，Commodore Business Machines收购Amiga公司后，在1985年将Amiga引入到市场里。而Amiga计算机为高分辨率，快速的图形响应，多媒体任务，特别是游戏方面做了专门设计，其是第一代具有真彩显示的计算机之一，自带AmigaOS系统，搭载了摩托罗拉680x0系列处理器。

虽然在当今来看不值一提，但在当时来看，搭载了AmigaOS系统的Commodore是最强大的个人电脑，就连乔布斯都表示AmigaOS强大到让他彻夜难眠，不过由于整个企业的经营不善，AmigaOS过早夭折，不知道如果AmigaOS碰到乔布斯或者是比尔·盖茨这样的经营者，还会不会有今天的微软或是苹果。
消失操作系统之OS/2
上市时间：1987年
开发商：IBM、微软
这个世界上没有永远的朋友，也没有永远的敌人，只有永远的利益，虽然Wintel联盟成功地取代了IBM公司在个人计算机市场上的主导地位，但可能很多不知道，微软和IBM也曾经是生意场上的合作伙伴。
OS/2操作系统界面（图片来源：toastytech）
比如这款OS/2操作系统，就是由微软和IBM共同研制和推出的，鉴于DOS在PC上的巨大成功后，以及GUI图形化界面的潮流影响下，IBM和Microsoft共同推出了OS/2。其在1987年12月上市，2005年退出市场。

不过IBM和微软的联手是短暂的，OS/2最初由微软主要负责开发，但由于在很多方面的差别，微软最终放弃了OS/2而转向开发Windows系统。而OS/2也被视为Windows的前身。
消失操作系统之Arthur
开发商：Acorn Computers
很多人对Acorn电脑公司肯定不甚了解，但如果编辑告诉您大名鼎鼎的ARM曾经是Acorn的一个部门，您会不会对这家公司肃然起敬。Acorn电脑公司成立于1978年，总部位于英格兰剑桥地区，其对于80年代初期PC产业的贡献不亚于今天的苹果。
Acorn Archimedes计算机（图片来源：regmedia）
直到1991年，Acorn才将ARM部门剥离，形成了ARM公司，在当时，ARM被定义为异类，因为既不生产芯片也不销售芯片，它只出售芯片技术授权，不得不说其长期被英特尔压制，直到智能手机大规模扩张后，ARM才渐渐成为移动市场的王者。

而Arthur实际上是当年Acorn Archimedes机器上所用的操作系统，而后者是Acorn旗下第一款通用的家用电脑，第一个版本Arthur在1987年发布，不过由于开发时间过短，仅有5个月，以至于其完成度不甚理想，其只坚持到了1989年就宣布停产。
消失操作系统之BeOS
上市时间：1991年
开发商：Be公司
从这款系统的命名和整个公司的命名风格来看，其或多或少有些许苹果的影子，然而实际上，Be公司正是由在苹果担任过主管的Gassee在上世纪90年代初期年创立的。
BeBox硬件产品（图片来源：applefritter）
或许BeOS本不应该出现在消失操作系统的行列，因为在90年代初期，苹果陷入了不能推出新操作系统Copland的困境，意欲在市场中寻找替代品，认为黄金时机到来再加上有些自信心膨胀，Gassee开出4亿美元的价格，让苹果电脑可以使用BeOS，但苹果给出的极限价格为2亿美元，最终导致谈判破裂。
BeOS系统界面（图片来源：birdhouse）
至此以后，两家公司的命运就走向了两级，由于Be公司开价过高，苹果最终收购了NeXTSTEP公司，重新得到了史蒂夫·乔布斯，为苹果日后的走向辉煌奠定了坚实的基础。而Be在之后并没有太大的起色，最终在2001年被Palm公司以1100万收购，从而也宣布了BeOS的终结。
消失操作系统之XTS-400
上市时间：1992年
开发商：BAE
BAE是全称是英国航空航天公司，其在1999年和马可尼电子系统公司合并为BAE系统公司，合并后其是世界最大的军品公司之一，整个公司拥有一流的系统提供能力，而XTS-400则是BAE公司在合并前推出的操作系统。
XTS-400系统界面（图片来源：10awesome）
XTS-400是一个多级安全的计算机操作系统，它是多用户和多任务处理系统，工作于网络环境中，支持千兆以太网，并同时支持IPv4和IPv6。XTS-400是英特尔X86硬件和安全可信工作计划（STOP）操作系统的组合。
1999年合并为BAE系统公司（图片来源：theiet）
XTS-400以极高的安全性著称，如今美国军方使用的仍然是XTS-400的后续版本。
消失操作系统之Inferno
上市时间：1996年
开发商：贝尔实验室
可能很多人并了解Inferno这款操作系统，最早是于1995年由贝尔实验室计算机科学研究部门成员为了把九号计划的思想更广泛的使用在设备及网络上所制作的，Inferno应用程式可以移植到大多数混合的硬件、网络、环境上。
Inferno操作系统（图片来源：caijing）
Inferno在1996年推出，不过在三年之后就关闭且被卖给Vitanuova，itanuova持有相关的权利后，便继续研发并对整个系统采用商业化授权的方式，随后提供免费下载以及对核心以及虚拟机器以外的整个系统采非GPL相容授权的方式。Vitanuova将软件继续移植到新的硬件以及专注在分散式应用软件上，最终将源代码采用GPLv2授权释出，而Inferno操作系统现今也变成是一个开放源代码的专案。
消失操作系统之Palm OS
开发商：Palm公司
Palm OS大家一定并不陌生，其是Palm公司开发的专用于PDA上的一种操作系统，最辉煌的时候占据了PDA市场90%的份额，虽然其并不专门针对于手机设计，但是Palm OS的优秀性和对移动设备的支持同样使其能够成为一个优秀的手机操作系统。

由于推出之时就超过了苹果公司的Newton，使得Palm OS获得了极大的成功，以至于后曾被IBM、Sony、Handspring等厂商取得授权，使用在旗下产品中。Palm OS操作系统以简单易用为大前提，运作需求的内存与处理器资源较小，速度也很快；但不支援多线程，长远发展受到限制。
Palm的短板在于网络体验不佳（图片来源：intense）
此外，微软后期推出了Windows CE操作系统，以及专门针对掌上电脑的Pocket PC Edition 2002，Palm的市场份额急剧下降，而在智能手机慢慢起势之后，由于Palm OS互联网性能较弱，最终遭到市场淘汰。
消失操作系统之Symbian
上市时间：1998年
开发商：爱立信、摩托罗拉、诺基亚、Pison
对于笔者来说，在所有消失的操作系统中，唯有Symbian（塞班)会催生本人的伤心情绪，毕竟像编辑这样的80后，Symbian系统是过去青春岁月的见证人。
Symbian成就了诺基亚（图片来源：geeky-gadgets）
可能绝大多数人一提起Symbian系统首先就会联想起曾经的巨人诺基亚，实际上，在1998年，是爱立信、诺基亚、摩托罗拉和Psion的共同合作下成立了Symbian公司，而第一款Symbian系统手机于2000年推出，型号为爱立信R380。
最后一款Symbian系统手机诺基亚808 PureView（图片来源：tabletsecompanhia）
直到2008年诺基亚收购Symbian公司后，Symbian才成为诺基亚的独享系统，无疑是Symbian系统成就了诺基亚。然而，随着智能手机的起势，安卓和iOS几乎占据了整个市场，Symbian只能沦落与使用于低级手机的内嵌式操作系统互相竞争，因此，诺基亚在2012年第四季度财报中确认，808 PureView是其最后一款Symbian系统手机，塞班已经死亡。伴随着一代玩家的美好记忆，一个辉煌的时代就此终结。
文章小结：
如果从编辑的角度来评述这些消失的操作系统，用五个字可以形容，叫做“遗失的美好”，我们无需为它们的离去感到悲伤，因为这是技术发展、时代进步以及市场优胜劣汰的必然结果，被淘汰在一定意义上说明它们已经不适合时代的使用需求。
