Greg Doig remembers a time when computers were the domain of experts, and operating systems were little more than bare-bones tools for managing hardware. In those early days, users had to memorize intimidating command-line instructions just to complete basic tasks—a far cry from the intuitive experiences of today. As technology advanced, Greg watched with fascination as these complex interfaces gave way to revolutionary graphical user interfaces, opening up computers to everyone. Over the decades, he has witnessed operating systems evolve from simple mediators to powerful platforms that integrate cloud services, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. For Greg, the evolution of operating systems isn’t just a byproduct of progress—it has been a driving force, shaping how we interact with technology and with one another.
