PC/Geos (aka Geoworks) was the most demanded of all. :)
Seriously, it was a terrific operating system. On a modest PC/XT with 640Kb RAM
it allowed to type texts and draw graphics and get a full wysiwyg result. And it
was fast. Incredible.
One of the coolest piece of code ever.
At the same time Windows was at version 2 and was absolutely... unusable.
