[Ipg-smz] Fwd: "Second System and Osborne Effects" gallery

[Perlow, Jason]

I am working on a companion gallery to an article I just published about
Google's Pixel slate and Chrome OS.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-grow-up-drop-the-apple-like-arrogance-or-chrome-os-will-fail/

In it I discuss the "Second System" effect:

"Second System Effect," by author Fred Brooks in his work *The Mythical
Man-Month
<https://www.amazon.com/Mythical-Man-Month-Software-Engineering-Anniversary/dp/0201835959/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539529598&sr=8-1&keywords=the+mythical+man+month>
*in
1975, which he notes that small, elegant and successful systems tend to be
succeeded by over-engineered and bloated systems due to inflated
expectations and overconfidence.

I also discuss the Obsorne Effect in that article so I am thinking of
incorporating that as well.

Here is a list, I think we can add a few, I'd like your recommendations:

Second Systems

1) OS/360, IBM (1964, the original second system, succeeded Series 700)
2) IBM OS/2 (Succeeded DOS, Windows 3.x)
3) Windows NT 3.1 (Succeeded OS, Windows 3.x)
4) Windows Vista (Succeeded Windows XP)
5) Windows 8/8.1 (Succeeded Windows 7)
6) BlackBerry OS 10 / BlackBerry Playbook (succeeded Blackberry classic OS)
7) Palm WebOS (Succeeded classic Palm OS)
8) Apple System 7 (Replaced Apple System 6 and classic 68000 OS, was ported
to PowerPC)
9) Intel Itanium (Succeeded x86)
9.5) IBM PowerPC (Succeeded x86)
10)  NeXT (Succeeded Apple Mac)
11) Lisa (Succeeded Apple II, preceded Mac)
12) Apple III (Succeeded Apple II)
13) Commodore Amiga (Succeeded Commodore 64)
14) Atari ST (Succeeded Atari 800)

Osbornes

1) The Original Osborne effect (Osborne 2)
2) Microsoft "Cairo" (Original Object-Oriented NT 5.0 project, failed)
3) Taligent OS (failed IBM/Apple Partnership to merge OSes)
4) SCO/IBM Project Monterey (this might be better on the Second System list)
5) Google Fuchsia (potential Osborne)
