Why don't the better operating systems win?

They relatively did in the 80s and early 90s. It's 2016 and they are irrelevant now. Get the fuck over it or go to the same internet ageism circlejerk and waste another few decades.

because your criteria for "better" is autistic.

They did; Windows has over 85% market share.

>XP share is higher than W8
Posted from glorious XP master race.

Amiga took the same path Apple did with 68k to PPC. It would have had to be completely rewritten to run on x86.

XP is insecure and no longer supported by Microsoft

seriously?

Amiga was a great multimedia OS, but Apple eventually caught up with its media productivity. Microsoft took over the business market with its networking and management features.

BeOS didn't make it

They don't come preinstalled

>Windows has over 85% market share
Which means the better operating systems only have <15%
>XP
Install POSReady 2009.

XP a shit

No shit, fucktard.

>XP is insecure
No it isn't, fucktard.

They do, where it matters. In areas like web servers, data centers, supercomputers, and space stations, Linux and BSD fucking dominate.

Normies have no need for Linux. iOS is all they'll ever need. At least it's a Unix system with good encryption, Right? Better than Microshit anyways. Android can be thought of as the ultimate success for mass market commercial Linux adoption.
