The 10 Biggest Flops in Computer History

Miguel Carrasco's Real World recently did a recap of the top 10 flops in computer history including Microsoft Bob, IBM OS/2, the Apple 3, and Gary Kildall's CP/M. What's interesting is that for almost every blunder and mistake there seems to be a success story as well. For example, the NeXT machine (which was essentially a really expensive brick) was a flop for its company in 1985 but ended up paving the way for the World Wide Web and the core principles for Mac OSX. There were also a few examples of companies or individuals that made poor decisions or were just unlucky who mighht have otherwise prevented Windows from dominating the market. Enjoy!
