Comment on How two bored 1970s housewives helped create the PC industry (2015)

Comments

The only consumer PC company that survived into the 1990s with its own significant platform was Apple, and even then, just barely.

Commodore was probably still "significant" in 1990.

Acorn's platforms were fairly successful into the 1990s, and of course you can still run RISC OS (first released in 1994) today on a modern Raspberry Pi!

On the hardware architecture side of course, ARM has simply taken over the world - including Apple.
