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.
