Sometimes I wonder where we'd be today if OS/2 had become the dominant OS for PCs.  Or maybe even BeOS, though they initially started with their own PowerPC-based computers, and by the time they ported BeOS to x86, it was probably too late.  I thought BeOS had some crazy multi-tasking though, and I liked its UI - it was simple and looked like a piece of art.
