The one company that *has* offerred a usable alternative, but has yet
to truly capitalize on it, is Apple, with Mac OS X. However, Steve
Jobs killed the whole idea of licensing the system on "clone" equipment
(like IBM did) when he reassumed the Apple throne, and unless you come
in at the VERY low end (i.e, Mac Mini or iBook G4), the cost of entry
is high. But then, when you own the equipment AND the OS, there's an
advantage.
