So, what do we make of the new iPadOS 26 now that it proposes to let you operate your iPad much like a MacBook? iPadOS 2

Apple is about to finally give iPad users the best reason to go iPad Pro

Birth of 86-DOS – By Nemanja Trifunovic

news.ycombinator.com Nemanja Trifunovic 2025-10-21 17:48:08

Forty-five years ago, in April 1980, a young employee at Seattle Computer Products began developing a small disk operating system for the new Intel 8086-based board. Against all odds, this modest project evolved into software that would power the PC industry for over a decade: Microsoft’s MS-DOS. This is a story about development of 86-DOS, better known by its code name QDOS before it was sold to Microsoft.
