What is a "better operating system"? There seem to be largely two consumer camps - Windows and unix-like ones.

For what it's worth, Microsoft research actively contribute to the research community regarding operating systems.

Is there a 3rd way out there that's better?

Mac is unix-like. I suppose Google's fuschia is new, but that's also unix-like.

MacOS diverged enough from *nix I think, to be third camp. Things they do like read-only system drive, app permissions, signed binaries, no package manager.
