These companies are out for one thing. To advance technology? No. They want your money before the next company beats them to it.

Certainly the Commodor and I believe the TRS-80 had an OS. It was in ROM so the boot time was almost zero. I still have my Pet purchased in 1977. It is PC's that have an OS you have to load each time you turn it on. We've gone backwards.
