Just wanted to clear the air and make sure nobody got the impression that "dumb ol' IBM and Bill Gates" did anything unusually short-sighted with regards to the 1 MB limit. Mac OS also had its own shortcomings that were artifacts of the design constraints of that original 128 KB model, and they never went away until they scrapped the whole thing and made Mac OS X 16 years later. IBM just had the distinction of having their "architecture" cloned and suddenly all the implementation details and limits became compatibility requirements. If the same had happened to the Apple II (or at least to the same degree - there were a couple clones) we'd probably be bitching about Woz's design instead. |
