Then IBM might have stood a chance. Or UNIX/Linux.

Apple would be the desktop OS

, Linux|*nix for Server and BeOS would still be standalone.. actually I don't know BeOS that well, so I won't go there. heheh

I think OS2 would have been the desktop OS then. And netware or some unix OS would power our servers.

I don't know is Apple would have had the kick start they had; most software if the first macintoshes was developed by Microsoft. Most Office software we use today saw their first light on apples.
