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.

Solaris lives on in reality in illumos, OpenZFS, Delphix, and SmartOS.

Joyent's Cloud on a laptop ("CoaL"), Triton and Manta are really cool. Try them out sometime.
