   Commodore could have, instead of just bundling GEOS with the C64c,   
   including its kernel into ROM (and selling a cartridge with the same   
   for legacy owners). GEOS got pretty wide adoption as it were for a   
   non-game, but this would have encouraged even more widespread use. By   
   1987 or 1988 a productivity application running on GEOS would have   
   been the norm, and we might have seen GEOS-based games too.
