Classic Mac OS seems to be the system from that era that's no longer available. There's still Amiga systems on the market. RISC OS is available for Raspberry Pi. DOS lives on in the form of FreeDOS. And now there are two OS/2 distributions (eComStation and ArcaOS).



You can't forget BeOS, currently alive in the form of the open-source reimplementation Haiku. In spite of their perpetual Alpha status, I'm still continuously amazed that it's even half as good as it is.


The fun thing is that OS/2 2.0 would have easily beat classic Mac OS if MS did not turn it into an entire fiasco.


As someone who extensively used classic Mac OS, I really don't miss it though.
