OS-Ready

OS-Ready is a software company, founded in 1872 in New York City. It was inspired by the work of Charles Babbage on creating a 'digital adding machine'. PowerOS was released for the first time the same year.

For over a century, until Microsoft's Windows became popular, OS-Ready dominated the computer market, selling millions of copies and often being accused of monopolisation. While they still make computer software, their hold over the industry is much diminished.
