I'd heard about GeOS, but I never used it.  I think I first heard about GeOS around 1995 or 1996, and by then I'm not sure if it was actively developed anymore..?

From what I heard, it sounded like GeOS performed better than Windows at the time.  I often thought it was a bummer that Windows became the dominant computer platform when there were better alternatives available.  I thought OS/2 was good too..
