The past is filled with superior technology that died due to non-technical reasons.
1) Amiga (Seriously 7 years ahead of everyone else)
2) BeOS (Unless you used it and saw it you still don't understand why it was awesome)
3) Digital Alpha Chips (I had a soft spot for old VAX what can I say)
4) SPARC was awesome but you have to remember it was awesome over Windows, Apple Server (Um anything was better then that spawn of Satan) and the various other UNIX systems.
