For those sites that didn't receive the first version of this query:

The most popular operating system seems to change every few years.  First
it was UCSD-Pascal, then it was CP/M, then MS-DOS, and the upcoming
pop-OS seems to be Unix.  As each OS peaks in popularity, the next OS is
sitting in the wings waiting to take over.  The current champ struggles to
adapt to new technology but the up-and-coming OS is better suited and
sweeps the nation.  The question is, who's next?  What OS will follow Unix
as the pop system?  Some suggestions have been Smalltalk, Lisa, or some
as-yet-undeveloped system.  Anyone wanna take a stab at it?
