At the risk of pandering to a troll, what were/are the alternatives?

I am not interesting in hearing about MS as having had to deal with it
for 17 years, I've lived why it was a bad thing.

Unix - well fragmentation is the only thing I can think of, which is
being mirrored in Linux these days.

what alternative(s) was there?
