This chameleon operating system allows ICL and other [[Intel 80286|80286]] manufacturers to build machines that will be able to cope with all the existing body of IBM-PC software -- and at the same time promise multi-tasking, windowing and true concurrency, three features that together allow a single micro to do several things at once. [β¦] Although no firm announcements have been made, it seems certain that by the end of the year [[Applied Computer Techniques|ACT]] will be offering a [[Concurrent CP/M-286|Concurrent CP/M 286]] machine to fuel its drive into the corporate market. But by this time it will have to contend with [[IBM]]'s own 80286 office micro, the PC/AT. [β¦] IBM also have a software product in the offing that could pull the rug out from under the Concurrent contenders. Some 180K in size, [[TopView]] is a program for IBM PC's and AT's that beefs up the operating system to provide windowing facilities for existing 'well behaved' standard packages.
