I am looking to know if anyone has ever, in the past 20 years or so, written an operating system designed to be used in the home market, and tried to compete with apple and microsoft. I am not talking about linux, i am looking at operating systems desigend to produce profit.
Thanks

Yes. Development of competing operating systems has been going on for years. The family tree is mind-boggling to say the least. The list from the last 20 years includes Solaris, BeOS, NextStep, QNX, AmigaOS, and lots more.
